Final Project
Current the path tracer give a real-time feedback via an OpenGL window. The
tracer can be exited at any time by hitting 'esc' and the image will automatically
be saved
Controls
w/a/s/d - left/right up/down movement
q/e - zoom in/out
i/j/k/l - camera rotations
Current implemented features are:
* Real-time visual of path tracing (which by have automatic anti-aliasing)
* Area Lights and Triangles
* Textures
* Reflections and refractions
* Soft shadows
* Linear Velocities on objects
* BVH that gets created and updated in parallel
* Blur and median filter
Flags supported are:
[width] (optional) image width
[height] (optional) image height
-I [file] Specify input file
-O [file] (optional) Specify output file, default is 'sample.tga'
-d Specify the depth that each ray is traced
(Default is 6)
-s static - use this if there are no moving objects in the scene (the BVH updates will be skipped)
-n number of passes done per frame (default is 1)
-t number of seconds passed per frame (this only applies if there are objects with velocity
-e exposure time - switches the ray tracer to polaroid mode and the picture develops over a span of time
-v Trippy motion blur mode
-b Blur the screen
-m Apply a median filter to the screen
