RayTracing

About

3d visualizer, using raymarching technology to draw vectorized primitives

Build requirements

• CMake >= 3.17
• NVidia GPU and CUDA toolkit >= 11.0
• Simple DirectMedia Layer library (SDL) >= 2.0

Building

To build the application I will enter next commands in shell:

mkdir Build
cmake -B./Build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
cmake --build ./Build --target all

Execution

On Windows you need to add SDL2.dll runtime library to ./Build directory. It is located in ./SDL2extra/win_x64 or ./SL2extra/win_x86, depending on your system.

Run ./Build/RayTracing (./Build/RayTracing.exe on Windows) with arguments:

• --width WIDTH - replace WIDTH with your desired window width;
• --height HEIGHT - replace HEIGHT with your desired window height;
• --input FILE - specify desired scene. Template scenes are located in ./Scenes directory.

Future Work

• To test Linux-compliance;
• To add OpenCL compute method for Radeon GPU's compatibility;
• To add more template scenes and scene creator;
• To add better illumination and materials.
