An implementation of a simple ray tracer adapted from Peter Shirley’s book Ray Tracing in One Weekend.

Description

This is an implementation of a simple ray tracer adapted from Peter Shirley’s book Ray Tracing in One Weekend. The current implementation runs on single thread and performs iterative rendering to refine the result. Typically, a high quality image can be achieved after around 100 iterations. In addition, a new scene can be easily generated to overwrite the current scene by a keyboard shortcut.

WebGL Demo

Thanks Vladimír Vondruš for building the awesome WebGL application. This is part of Magnum graphics engine showcase. Note that this WebGL demo requires WebAssembly-capable browser with WebGL enabled.

Usage:
* Mouse drag rotates the camera
* Shift + mouse drag pans the camera
* Mouse wheel zooms in/out
* R resets the camera to its original transformation
* D toggles depth-of-field rendering
* M toggles marking the next render block by a different color
* N generates a new random scene
* Space pauses/resumes rendering
