a simple python raytracer implementation
- Lambertian diffuse
- Metals with fuzziness
- The classic checkerboard floor texture
- Emissive materials
- Optional denoiser
- Live preview while rendering
- PPM file output
- Miserable performance (slow af)
To create your own renders: Modify samples, resolution, maxBounces and ambient occlusion in "src/main.py" and add objects to the scene by calling scene.addObject() and passing an object as a parameter.
To denoise a render: Run "denoiser/denoise.py", choose the input file in the first filedialogue and choose the output folder in the second.
| Folder | content |
|---|---|
| results/ | All of my renders (even those from older more primitive versions of the raytracer) |
| └ results/denoised | denoised versions of some of the renders |
| └ results/fails | funny failed renders luckily i dont have many of those.. or sadly |
| output/ | This is where the resulting image file of a render is written to (also overwriting old ones!) |
| src/ | This is where the code is |
