HOLT

This is my little Ray Tracing (or rather Path Tracing) project in which I'm learning more about this rendering technique by creating a software implementation in C++.

Slowly expanding it in my free time.

TODO

• Read and implement the contents of Ray Tracing in One Weekend
• Speed up the rendering by moving it to GPU (Vulkan and compute shaders)
• Read and implement the contents of Ray Tracing: The Next Week
• Read and implement the contents of Ray Tracing: The Rest of Your Life

Project Config

You need to have vcpkg and CMake installed. Once that's done all that is needed to configure the project is to run:

cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=${PATH_TO_VCPKG}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake

and then simply to build it run:

cmake --build build

or simply import it to some IDE that supports CMake and vcpkg.
