A Raytracer written in C++ to learn Raytracing
and other graphic concepts while following the book
Raytracing in one weekend
The Ray Tracer Challenge.
I was following the Raytracing in one weekend book series and felt the explanations to be not good enough.
Switching the repository to follow The Ray Trace Challenge. Old code can be found in deprecated_archive branch.
More optimizations and extra features will be added as I progress through the book series, and get more in-depth insights through other papers.
TODO:
- Add PPM binary (P6) image support to complement and optimize PPM ascii (P3) format.
- Add Sixel image support for terminal images.
- Add multithreading
- Add GPU offloading
- Add quake 3 fast inverse square root or some better algorithm
- Add glass caustics using depth maps youtube extra resource link
