Important

This project was started as a project for my bachelor thesis and it does not pretend to be a feature-full industry-grade renderer.
I plan to prepare the first stable version until June, 2018. Until then the project will be developed only by myself.

Goals

• Distributed Ray Tracer (Path Tracer)
• All computations can be distributed over network on heterogeneous.
• Current progress and computation network info can be viewed in real-time.

Current Status

Currently I am working on the implementation of connectivity between DCDR-Server, DCDR-Worker-s and DCDR-WebUI.

Technology stack

Languages

• C ++ 17 for both DCDR-Server and DCDR-Worker modules
• JS for WebUI operations

Protocols

• WebSocket for DCDR-Server <-> DCDR-WebUI communications
• TCP sockets for DCDR-Server <-> DCDR-Worker communications

Build / Deploy / CI

• CMake as main C ++ build system
• Travis CI as continuous integration platform

Development

• Coding guidelines

Libraries

• Mongoose as embedded web-server
• FlatBuffers for Dcdr-Interconnect protcols are on with network transmission
• Google Test as main C ++ testing framework
• LodePNG for rendered image encoding / scene textures decoding
• microtar as container for scene format
• SQLite as scene info data storage
