# go-render

A simple renderer (rasterization-based) written in Go.



    

    





    



The OG [tinyrenderer](https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer) project helped me alot. It's amazing stuff, and I highly recommend everyone check it out.

## Usage

The code is pretty self-contained. I only used a 3rd-party library `imaging` to flip images vertically. 







To do your custom render:

```

go run render.go  

```

For example, see `run.sh`:

```

go run data/obj/bunny_2.obj data/textures/bunny_texture.jpg

```

Of course, you can first build `render.go`, and then run the executable:

```

go build render.go

./render  

```

### Customization

You could also play with some other parameters (light direction, camera position, spectral lighting, and etc) in `render.go`.

- `eye`: The camera position. Default is (0, 0, 1).

- `center`: Position the camera is looking at Default is (0, 0, 0).

- `up`: The vertical axis of the camera. Default is (0, 1, 0), which is the y-axis.

- `lightDir`: Light ray direction. Default is (0, 0, -1), which means the light is parellel to user's eye.

- `specCoeff`: Weight of spectral lighting. (For the shiny dragon above, I used 20.0)

- `imageHeight`: Pixel height of output image.

- `background`: Whether to color output image background black. If not, then output image has transparent background.

- `outFile`: Render output file path.

- `defaultFill`: If no texture is specified, use this color.

Kudos to the author of [this article](https://blenderartists.org/t/uv-unwrapped-stanford-bunny-happy-spring-equinox/1101297) for providing custom Stanford bunny texture files.

> Specular lighting

The stronger specular lighting is, the more "glossy" the object surface becomes. I simply used uniform power for each pixel since specular intensity is not specified in my texture files.
