Raytracer

This project was an assignment of the Computer Graphics course at [ITBA] 1 in 2008. See copyright notes at the bottom.

It features a 3D scene rendering engine based in [ray tracing] 2.

Examples of scenes rendered by the raytracer program can be found in the img directory of this repository, as well as documentation in the doc directory.

Features

  • Positionable camera
  • Anti-aliasing through stochastic sampling
  • Point lights
  • Reflection
  • Refraction
  • Penumbra
  • Octrees
  • Bounding volumes
  • Shapes: Sphere, TriangleSet, IndexedTriangleSet, IndexedTriangleStripSet, IndexedTriangleFanSet
  • Material: diffuse and specular color, ambient intensity, transparency, shininess
  • Transform operations: scale, rotation and traslation
  • Partially supports X3D format for input representing 3D scene
  • Supports PNG, JPG, BMP and other image formats for output

File contents

  • bin: Reserved for .class files
  • build.xml: Apache Ant build file
  • COPYING: GNU General Public License
  • doc: Documentation (in Spanish)
  • img: Examples of 3D scenes rendered by the raytracer program
  • lib: Required external libraries
  • raytracer.bat: Script for running the raytracer program on Windows
  • raytracer.jar: Main raytracer .jar file
  • raytracer.sh: Script for running the raytracer program on POSIX systems
  • README.markdown: This README file
  • src: Source code, fully written in Java

Program usage

java -Djava.library.path=lib -jar raytracer.jar [options]

Options:

  • -i <filename>: Input filename (X3D only)
  • -o <filename>: Output filename (in any image format supported by Java image libraries)
  • -s <width>x<height>: Output image size
  • -progress: Show progress bar (rendered pixels out of total pixels) on standard output
  • -show: Show a window with output image
  • -as <N>: Anti-aliasing parameter (square root of the number of rays traced per pixel)
  • -p <N>: Penumbra parameter (number of rays traced per pixel)
