I am trying to create a ray tracer using Qt, but I have some really strange artifacts.
Before I applied the shading, I only have 4 spheres, 3 triangles and 2 limited planes in my scene. They all looked as expected, and as expected, the color for my planes, I would see points of the same color as the background. These points will remain static from the position of my view, so if I moved the camera around the points, they would also move. However, they affected only planes and triangles and never appeared on spheres. One I implemented shading, the problem got worse. Dots now also appear on spheres in the light source, so any part affected by the diffuse one. In addition, my only blue-blue color (RGB 0,0,255) turned black. Since I have two planes, I switched their colors, and again the blue turned black, so this is a color problem, not a plane problem.
