A raytracer that I've been working on. Initially, this started as a port of Peter Shirley's "Ray Tracing in a Weekend" book in Rust, but I've added a bunch more features (like support for meshes and HDRs and scene serialization) and radically changed the API (with significant help from The PBR Book).
Major changes
- Using rayon for multithreading
- Using ultraviolet for SIMD accelerated
Vec3 - Nested if statements, loops, etc. replaced by more "rusty" structures (pattern matching, combinators)
- Using
Options instead of out parameters. - Complete refactoring of BVH structure. No pointer arithmatic or unsafe!
- Explicitly passing around Rng object for reproducibility and to prevent side effects
- Separating things out into modules.
- Using const_generics to avoid code duplication in Rectangles
