Ray Tracer from P. Shirley's books "Ray Tracing - In a Weekend" and "Ray Tracing - The Next Week". Features multi-threading and ImageMagick support.

Simple-Ray-Tracer-by-Shirley

The project is mainly based on the first two books by Peter Shirley (which I highly recommend to read if you want to dive into ray tracing world). In addition, I have also improved the code a bit with simple multi-threading, SIMD (SSE for now) and direct image conversion (i.e to .png format) with ImageMagick.

Dependencies

• Magick++ API (https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/tree/master/Magick%2B%2B)

Future TODO list

• Implement features from "Ray Tracing - The Rest of Your Life"
