Current light representation is extremly simplified and probably not accurate, if you want professional renders, please use Blender or any other software.
Launch parameters:
-wor--width- Render image width-hor--height- Render image height-sor--samples- Samples count-bor--bounces- Maximum number of ray bounces-tor--threads- Thread count-ior--input- Scene JSON file-oor--output- Output file
The --input parameter is required!
Example:
./RayTracing -w 512 -h 512 -s 256 -b 16 -t 8 -i scene.json -o render.pngThis will render a 512 by 512 image with 256 samples and 16 bounces on 8 threads with scene.json, as an input file, and save it as render.png
- A C++ Compiler capable of building C++20 code
- CMake 3.14 or newer
- GLM library (
glmon Arch-based distros) - JSON for Modern C++ (
nlohmann-jsonon Arch-based distros)
sudo pacman -S cmake glm nlohmann-jsonCurrently only Linux is supported, but everything should build fine on Windows, although, you would need to manually download all required libraries.
git clone https://github.com/Olek47/RayTracing.git
cd RayTracing
cmake -S . -B build -G 'Unix Makefiles'
cmake --build buildIf you want, you can use different CMake generators, for example Ninja build system or Microsoft Visual Studio on Windows.
