Build
Building in release mode improves performance by a major factor. To build this renderer run.
git clone https://gitlab.com/vgarleanu/raytracer
cargo build --release
To run, either use cargo --run or target/debug/raytracer.
Example
To render the basic built in demo map just run This command will render the default map with 400 rays per pixel at a resolution of 400x400, and will use 16 threads:
raytracer -o image_file.jpg --threads 16 -x 400 -y 400 -r 400
To load a custom map run:
raytracer -m ./map.json -o image_file.jpg
For more options run
raytracer -h
