This is a very basic raytracer. Its just an excuse to experiment with the Go programming language
It currently supports:
- Object type
- sphere
- Materials
- Dielectic
- Metal
- Glass
- Texturing
- Plain color textures
- Checker color textures
- Composite textures
- Camera
- Depth of field
- Aperture
- Animation
- Scalar animation
- Coordinate animation
- Rendering
- Multicore support with goroutines
- Output format: PNG
- Custom JSON scene file format
Nice to have improvements:
- Support for other object types, especially triangles as it would allow to import existing meshes
- Support for image textures
- Add volumetric smoke
- Subsurface scattering
- Many many more...
