running the renderer

To run the renderer, build the code:

./futhark-nightly-linux-x86_64/bin/futhark pkg sync
./futhark-nightly-linux-x86_64/bin/futhark pyopencl rayboi.fut

Then run the progressive renderer shell:

pip install pyglet numpy
python debug_view.py

other notes

A lot of the code is based off of Sabastian Lague's very helpful video

Future improvements/projects:

• Model loading
• Texture mapping
• Spatial partitioning with BVH
• PBRT
• ReSTIR (ref)
