Introduction

This is my first raytracer.

Only capable of rendering Spheres and Planes.

Compile me

I assume that you already have installed a decent version of CMake and Git on your computer.

Install dependency libraries

You need to install the following dependencies:

• Google Test
• Google Bench

You can either follow the official tutorials, or abruptly copy/paste the following into your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/google/benchmark.git
git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git benchmark/googletest
cd benchmark
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../ -DBENCHMARK_DOWNLOAD_DEPENDENCIES=ON
make -j 8
sudo make install

Project compilation

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j 8

Run

• Run the benchmark: ./build/bench/bench
• Run the project: ./build/src/raytracer

To Fix:

• the maths behind the camera's virtual screen are broken

Conclusion

There's nothing crazy here, just my first steps to the 3D world.
