BasicRenderer

A simple renderer

Description

Basic Renderer is a simple renderer made with fun and learning in mind.

Development is currently on hold.

Features planned:

• Rasterization
• Classic Ray-Tracing
• Path-Tracing

The solution includes two projects:

• BasicRenderer aka the actual renderer itself that can be built as standalone executable
• QtGUI a graphical interface for BasicRenderer made with Qt 5.15.0

Getting Started

BasicRenderer

The project root folder contains a BasicRenderer.sln Visual Studio file but this project is made to use CMake

• Install CMake
• Move into the BasicRenderer folder
• Run shell scripts build.sh and run_tests.sh to build the project and run the tests
• Otherwise CMake can be used directly, these targets are provided:
  • The library BasicRendererLib
  • The executable BasicRenderer
  • The Google Test executable BasicRendererTest

QtGUI

Due to time constraints this project only supports Windows

• Install Qt 5.15.0
• Open BasicRenderer.sln with Visual Studio
• Build and Run the QtGUI project
