Raytracer for rendering .stl files using C++. Put the files you want to render inside the STL_files folder.
$ git clone [email protected]:CCS-1L-F19/architectural_raytracer.git
$ cd src
$ make clean
$ make main
$ ./main [file] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Where:
- [file] is the name of the file, with .stl after it.
- [1] samples/rays per pixel
- [2] [3] [4] are the coordinates of the camera (x,y,z)
- [5] [7] [8] are the coordinates you want to look at
An example command to test your setup (these are good values for a demo)
$ ./main teapot.stl 30 0 5 20 0 0 0
The image will be outputted to the image file output.ppm in the images folder.
Open image file in GIMP or online ppm viewer
It should look something like
Another example, this one of dragon.stl, is below:
$ ./main dragon.stl 40 0 30 90 0 0 0
The result should be look like this:
A cooler image, that was rendered during the progress of this project, is below:
To generate new documentation, cd into docs and run doxygen. To reconfigure, edit Doxyfile.
