This project is an introduction to the beautiful world of Raytracing. The goal of this project is to be able to render simple Computer-Generated-Images.
Project is using macOS external graphics library mniLibX.
-
The management of your window must remain smooth: changing to another window, minimizing, etc.
-
Need to handle at least these 3 simple geometric objects: plane, sphere, cylinder.
-
All possible intersections and the inside of the object must be handled correctly.
-
Program must be able to resize the object’s unique properties: diameter for a sphere and the width and height for a cylinder.
-
Program must be able to apply translation and rotation transformation to objects, lights and cameras (except for spheres and lights that cannot be rotated).
-
Program must properly handle light management: spot brightness, hard shadows, ambiance lighting (objects are never completely in the dark). Need to implement Ambient and diffuse lighting.
-
Program must save rendered image of scene in format .bmp if flag --save is presented
-
The program displays the image in a window and respect the following rules:
- Pressing ESC must close the window and quit the program cleanly.
- Clicking on the red cross on the window’s frame must close the window and quit the program cleanly.
- Program must take as a first argument a scene description file with the .rt
extension.
-
.rt file description must follow rules:
- Each type of element can be separated by one or more line break(s).
- Each type of information from an element can be separated by one or more space(s).
- Each type of element can be set in any order in the file.
- Elements which are defined by a capital letter can only be declared once in the scene.
make
./miniRT |--save| ['file with .rt extension]
if flag --save is presented rendered image will be saved in root of the project in .bmp format
