# Armasa Path Tracer

An OpenGL-based path tracer inspired by [Zeta Path Tracer](https://github.com/Magorx/zeta_path_tracer)

## How to use

You will need `glew` and `cmake` installed to

start the tracer.

Clone the repository and navigate to `main.cpp`.

Then uncomment any example you want to see

**Be careful**: complex scenes may hang up your videocard,

so you will have to reboot your computer, or wait for

OpenGL to raise a timeout error and crash the program.

You may need to adjust the scene to render it in

smaller portions. To do that, increase the parameter

passed to `set_dynamic_frame_substeps` and

`set_static_frame_substeps` methods, which are present in

each example. By default, all examples are set up to run

smoothly on AMD Radeon Pro 5500M.

**For MacOS users**: As OpenGL has been deprecated on MacOS,

funny things can happen to your system, including total crash

with screen filled with pink noise. Be sure to save everything

you're editing before running this program.

## Examples:

- A crystal tank (9к polygons)

- A glass sphere in a cornell box

- A "Stanford Dragon" (200k polygons)
