- This mini-project is the first step to create a Raytracing program, for you to finally be able to render computer-generated images.
- The program traces rays from one camera to n objects, the objects have shading and cast shadows on each other based the position of a single source of light.
- RTv1 takes as input a custom file format based on comma separated values (examples found in the scenes folder), from the file it can get these informations:
- camera (location and direction);
- light (location);
- objects:
- sphere (color, location and radius);
- cylinder (color, location, axis and radius);
- cone (color, location, axis and angle);
- plane (color, normal and distance from 0,0,0);
To generate an executable for this project run make in the root of the project directory after you've downloaded or cloned it.
This project will only work on MacOS El Capitan/Sierra/HighSierra and even then, no promises!
Run the following commands:
- To compile
make
- To remove objects:
make clean
- To remove objects and binary file (program):
make fclean
- To re-compile:
make re
this program was created without much help from standard libraries, these are all the standard function used:
- open
- read
- write
- malloc
- free
- math:
- sin()
- cos()
- pow()
- mlx graphic library:
- to create a window
- use keyboard input
