RT is a 42 project developped by sganon, joboyer, fsidler and me, which is designed to further students' understanding of the concepts behind raytracing.
The scene's and objects' parameters can be modified in real-time. This software also uses multithreading to speed up calculations.
The program supports multiple lights and objects in a scene.
Any object can have a coefficent of refraction (except for the plane), transparency (except for the plane) and reflection.
Any object can be cut (example: make a hemisphere from a sphere).
Any object can have a texture (bmp format, perlin sound or checkerboard).
The program supports sepia, and black and white filters.
The proram can take a screenshot of a scene.
Several options are available (see Shortcuts section for more info)
- Select objects within the scene
- Translate and rotate the camera
- Translate and rotate the selected object
- Change the radius/angle of the selected object
- Change the maximum number of reflections
- Rotate textures
- Increase/decrease anti-aliasing
- Increase processing speed (may reduce quality)
git clone https://github.com/jfortin42/RT ~/RT
cd ~/RT && make && ./RT scene/scene1.rtLaunch the program with one parameter: the name of the scene you would like to open.
The input file has to follow a predefined layout. A parser implemented in the program will check for layout errors.
Example : ⇣
./RT scenes/scene1.rtOnce the scene is rendered, you can select/unselect objects by using the left mouse button .
