Learning Rust by implementing a ray tracer.
My latest rendered image:
- Start unit testing
- Start GitHub Actions
- Closed loop ray casting per pixel
- GUI mode for adjusting parameters
- Make hit records automatically set ni_ovet_nt
- Sequential rendering across the full image
- Loading scenes from files
- Render triangles
- Subsurface scattering
- Render STLs
- Render OBJs
- Unified material struct instead of enums-per-material
- Batch mode to only render part of image and return
- Multithreaded CPU rendering
- GPU compute
- Fraunhofer diffraction
- Cornel box render
- "Icy" bouncy ball material render
- Stanford dragon model render
- Batch process pipeline
- Rerender a Processing Daily
- Pre-commit hook to upload latest rendered image automatically
- Git LFS to limit repo size creep with images
This is not me deriving computer graphics theory, just getting familiar with the Rust language.
As such, I'm following along with existing resources implementing their solutions in Rust as an exercise.
