This is a ray tracer implemented in Java. It allows to use a simple pre-defined language to define a scene as a file, and use it as an input to the ray tracer. The ray tracer will recreate the scene and save output image.
Follow these steps:
- Create a
.txtfile to describe the desired scene (world). For examples of some scene files, check the/examplesdirectory. In general, all directions are described as a 3D vector, while all colors and lights are described as an RGB value. - Call the main application with the
txtscene file as the input.
This software is not perfect and may not work properly (currently it is missing some advanced features).
