This is an implementation in Rust of Peter Shirley's "Ray Tracing: The Rest Of Your Life" book. This is the third of the series:
- Ray tracing in one weekend, in Rust
- Ray tracing: the next week, in Rust
- Ray tracing: the rest of your life, in Rust
Every tagged commit is the code that generates a specific image. In this way it's easy to follow the progress in the book.
First git clone this project. Then you can checkout a tag to retrieve the implementation at a specific chapter in the book.
For example, with git checkout tags/chapter_08.2 you get the implementation for the second image of chapter 8.
With git checkout master you go back to the latest version.
Instead of implementing my own vec3, I preferred using Vector3 from nalgebra crate.
For random numbers I used rand.
The initial code base is that of the previous project, without the stuff not used in this one, such as bvh, image textures, and so on.
The main loop is made parallel with the rayon crate.
Hence dependencies are:
