Fujiyama Renderer
=================
Overview
-----------------
Fujiyama is free and open source, distribution oriented ray-tracing renderer
designed to handle production image rendering.
* Compatibility - written in pure ANSI C++
* Portability - depends on no external library (x)
* Simplicity - requires only single C++ header file and library
* Compact - the core library is small and easy to embed
* Open Source - licensed under the terms of MIT License (See LICENSE)
(x) some external tools require OpenEXR and OpneGL/GLUT
Features
-----------------
* Platforms
+ Linux
+ Mac OSX
+ Windows
* Rendering
+ Multi-threaded rendering - dynamic assignement of tile rendering per theread
+ Rendering preview - fbview shows rendering progress
+ Region rendering - accelerates distribution rendering pipeline
+ Tile based rendering
* Supported Primitives
+ Triangle Mesh - Compact representation
+ Bezier Curves - Unlimited smoothness subdividing in render time
+ Volume Primitive - Ray traced self-shadowing
+ Point Cloud - Can be rendered as particles
* Procedure Plugin
+ Volume Filling Procedure - Pyroclastic clouds procedure provided
+ Volume Filling Procedure - Spline wisps procedure provided
+ Volume Filling Procedure - Surface wisps procedure provided
* File format
+ Original mesh format - ply2mesh and obj2mesh are provided
+ Original curve format - curvegen is provided
+ Original point cloud format - ptcgen is provided
+ Original mipmap format - hdr2mip is provided
+ Original framebuffer format - fb2exr is provided
+ Command-like scene description language - works with text filter tools
+ Python Binding scene description - can utilize control structures and libraries
+ FrameBuffer Viewer - displays *.fb and *.mip
+ Input format - *.mesh, *.ply, *.obj, *.mip, *.hdr, *.jpg (through Python API)
+ Output format - *.fb, *.exr (through Python API)
* Lighting
+ Point light - traditional point light
+ Grid light - typical area light with single/double-sided option
+ Sphere light - another area light
+ Dome light - supports IBL with environment map
* Animation
+ Camera motion blur - sampling non-linear camera motion
+ Transform motion blur - sampling non-linear object transformation
+ Velocity attribute motion blur - useful for point count
changing geometry
* Shading and Texture
+ On demand reading of mipmap - unlimited number of texture images
+ Pluggable shader DSO - shaders can be written in C/C++
+ Subsurface scattering - implemented in shader
+ Bump mapping - perturb normals based on mipmap images
+ Primitive groups - multiple shader assignment on triangle mesh
* Acceleratotion structure
+ Grid accelerator - for meshes (dense distribution)
+ BVH accelerator - for object instances (sparse distribution)
+ Object instance - saves memory usage
* Sampling and Filtering
+ Gaussian and Box pixel filters - supports filter width bigger than 1 pixel
+ Uniform grid pixel sampling
+ Jittered pixel sampling
* Extensibility
+ Rendering callbacks - 5 points to hook rendering process
