Rusttracer

Rust

YAR(Yet Another Raytracer).

I like to write raytracers to learn new programming languages. They're fun and are a natural way to learn most OOP languages. Naturally I'm writing a raytracer in rust called rusttracer 🙂.

Building

Make sure you have the rust nightly toolchain installed then run

cargo build --release

Running

The project uses a json based configuration format. For an example see the rgb-spheres.json scene. To render it run:

target/release/rusttracer --config-path scenes/rgb-spheres.json

Usage

Usage: target/release/rusttracer [options]

Options:
    -c, --config-path CONFIG_PATH
                        config file path, uses `default.json` if not specified
    -b, --benchmark     Benchmark by rendering the scene multiple times
    -h, --help          prints this help menu

Renders

This was the first render produced.

This was rendered a while later, at this point there was support for diffuse colors, specular highlights, reflection, colored lights, and super sampling. This is 2560x1440 at 4x4 super sampling

This rendering uses procedural textures to render the fractal artworks. This is 2560x1440 at 4x4 super sampling.
