Final Project Writeup
Running Code
From the root directory, cd into the build folder, then run cmake .. and make, which will produce the binary called "assignment6". Then you can run the test cases like in the handout. Also, there is a pre-compiled binary of my final code in the root directory called "assignment6". I have only tested my code on Macos which is the OS that i run.
You can specify can indexer using the "-indexer" flag like the following command:
./assignment6 -input scene06_bunny_1k.txt -output 06_bvh.png -size 2000 2000 -bounces 30 -indexer bvhwhere the "-indexer" flag takes in either "octree", "bvh", or "bvh_sah". Bvh is the Bounding Volume Hierarchy indexer with a naive splitting algorithm and bvh_sah is the BVH with a Surface Area Heuristic splitting algorithm.
