Simple ray tracer written in Rust.
Based on Ray Tracing in One Weekend.
Implementations in the shaders directory exist for:
- GLSL compute shader
- GLSL fragment shader
- HLSL pixel (fragment) shader
I used this project as a means of learning HLSL, WebGPU, and the basics of ray tracing.
The project is a bit over-engineered as I also experimented with various interface designs regarding WebGPU, text rendering, windowing, and extensibility.
WebGPU is a cross-platform graphics API similar to Vulkan. It can be run on platforms supporting OpenGL, DirectX11/12, Vulkan, Metal, and WebGPU itself (experimental in browsers).
wgpu-rs is the Rust implementation of WebGPU.
