rusty-raytracer

Raytracer for learning Computer Graphics

Run using the command cargo run. Current and planned branches:

• master: Skeleton/framework for the program.
• simple-trace: Implement a basic algorithm that shoots ray from the camera.
• monte-carlo (TBD): Implement some Global Illumination style algorithms?

Todo list:

See the projects tag in github.

Source code structure

• root src folder:
  • main.rs: Program entry point, hook into the cores, manage the progress bar, etc.
  • core.rs: Core rendering algorithms: trace(), top level code for dealing with materials (called "lighting model"), anti-aliasing.
  • sample.rs: Codes for constructing/setting up scene for test.
  • util.rs: Other stuffs, like color.
• model folder:
  • Main (mod.rs per Rust lang): Objects for 3D stuff in the scene - Scene Graph Model (is a tree), Material, and Ray.
  • intersect.rs: Intersectable trait to take care of the details of doing ray-object intersection (mechanism vs policy).
• scene folder:
  • Main: Main object for the whole scene, which contains the model/scene graph plus a bunch of "meta" stuffs.
  • light.rs: Different kinds of Lighting.
  • camera.rs: Camera class, manage the projection and view matrices and help to shoot a ray.
