# Rays
CPU based 3D graphics in Julia using raycasting.
## Main features
### Shapes
- Sphere, cube, tetrahedron
- Implicit surface
- Surface of revolution
- Triangle mesh
- Fractal shapes, e.g. [Menger sponge](https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spons_van_Menger), [Sierpinski pyramid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpi%C5%84ski_triangle#Analogues_in_higher_dimensions)
For examples see [here](https://github.com/SouthEndMusic/Rays/blob/master/examples/Getting_started_shapes.ipynb).
### Textures
- Uniform color
- Color by face
- Color by shape coordinates
For examples see [here](https://github.com/SouthEndMusic/Rays/blob/master/examples/Getting_started_textures.ipynb).
### Interactive rendering
Integraton of [SimpleDirectMediaLayer.jl](https://github.com/JuliaMultimedia/SimpleDirectMediaLayer.jl) provides a simple API to use `Rays.jl` essentially as a game engine. For an example script see [here](https://github.com/SouthEndMusic/Rays/blob/master/examples/Getting_started_interactive.ipynb).
## Contributing
This is a hobby project of mine, partly to learn how to write good Julia code. Therefore I do not accept contributions, only suggestions 🙂 However, please feel free to experiment with the code and show me your creations (kudos to whomever creates a clone of DOOM).
