This is a Rust implementation of Raytracing in One Weekend.
There is both a web app and a CLI within this repo. Both are multithreaded, and the web app uses
SharedArrayBuffer
and wasm_thread for threading.
Run the CLI in release mode to make it much faster.
cargo run --release
The web app is made of two parts: raylib-web, a lightweight wrapper library around the core raytracer in raylib,
and raytracer-web a React-based web app.
Build raylib-web with:
cd raylib-web
./build.sh
You need to serve the web app over HTTPS for SharedArrayBuffer to work. Create and install a certificate for
localhost with:
brew install mkcert
cd raytracer-web
mkdir -p .cert && mkcert -key-file ./.cert/key.pem -cert-file ./.cert/cert.pem 'localhost'
Next, start Vite:
# from within raytracer-web
npm install
npm run dev
