This project is a C++ program whose goal was to be able to simulate the impact of light on primitives like sphere, cones, cylinders or planes. The lighting was made using the phong model. The scene is made with a configuration file that specifies the rotation, position and color of each primitive. There is no implementation yet of multithreading so the program might be slow. Expect at least 40 seconds of loading
sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev
If this doesn't work, here's the complete guide
cd Raytracer
makeIn order to execute the binary, you have to pass as an argument the path to a scene configuration file
./raytracer [PATH]
# exemple : ./raytracer configuration.scene
If you redirect the output to a file, it will automatically format it as a .ppm file
./raytracer [PATH]
# exemple : ./raytracer configuration.scene > output.ppm
