Ray Tracer

Implementation of ray tracing algorithm

About

Implementation of a simple ray tracer in C++

• Supports loading of .obj files and textures
• Implemented bounding boxes for faster ray-mesh intersection check
• Parallelized using OpenMP
• Implemented Anti-aliasing (SSAA) and Depth Of Field

How To Run This On Windows

• Clone the repository including the submodules using :

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/The-curs0r/RayTracer.git

• Go into the cloned repository and run CMake :

cd RayTracer
cmake CMakeLists.txt -B ./build/ -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"
cd build
start rayTracer.sln

• Build the solution for Release configuration and run the application

cd Release
start .\rayTracer.exe

How To Run This On Linux

• Clone the repository including the submodules using :

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/The-curs0r/RayTracer.git

• Go into the cloned repository and run CMake :

cd RayTracer
cmake CMakeLists.txt -B ./build/ -G "Unix Makefiles"
cd build
make all
./rayTracer

Bug/Feature Request

If you find a bug, or are unable to build the project or run the application, kindly open an issue here.

Currently I'm not working on this project but if you have any ideas for the project, please put them here.

To-Do

• Implement MSAA and/or Post Processing Anti Aliasing methods (like MLAA, FXAA and SMAA).

• Add more basic shapes (like Torus, Cubes).

• Improve lighting calculations (add glossy reflection and area lights).

Results

• More images in SampleImages folder.
