# Rusttracer
YAR(Yet Another Raytracer).
I like to write raytracers to learn new programming languages. They're fun and are a natural way to learn most OOP languages. Naturally I'm writing a raytracer in rust called rusttracer 🙂.
## Building
Make sure you have the rust nightly toolchain installed then run
```bash
cargo build --release
```
## Running
The project uses a json based configuration format. For an example see the [`rgb-spheres.json`](scenes/rgb-spheres.json) scene. To render it run:
```bash
target/release/rusttracer --config-path scenes/rgb-spheres.json
```
## Usage
```bash
Usage: target/release/rusttracer [options]
Options:
-c, --config-path CONFIG_PATH
config file path, uses `default.json` if not specified
-b, --benchmark Benchmark by rendering the scene multiple times
-h, --help prints this help menu
```
## Renders
> This was the first render produced.
> This was rendered a while later, at this point there was support for diffuse colors, specular highlights, reflection, colored lights, and super sampling. This is 2560x1440 at 4x4 super sampling
> This rendering uses procedural textures to render the fractal artworks. This is 2560x1440 at 4x4 super sampling.
