Armasa Path Tracer

An OpenGL-based path tracer inspired by Zeta Path Tracer

How to use

You will need glew and cmake installed to start the tracer.

Clone the repository and navigate to main.cpp. Then uncomment any example you want to see

Be careful: complex scenes may hang up your videocard, so you will have to reboot your computer, or wait for OpenGL to raise a timeout error and crash the program.

You may need to adjust the scene to render it in smaller portions. To do that, increase the parameter passed to set_dynamic_frame_substeps and set_static_frame_substeps methods, which are present in each example. By default, all examples are set up to run smoothly on AMD Radeon Pro 5500M.

For MacOS users: As OpenGL has been deprecated on MacOS, funny things can happen to your system, including total crash with screen filled with pink noise. Be sure to save everything you're editing before running this program.

Examples:

  • Full-HD 9.500 triangle tank mesh render

High-resolution glass tank

  • A glass sphere in a cornell box

Glass sphere

  • 400 randomized spheres
