This repo contains my code to implement the ray tracer described in The Ray Tracer Challenge by Jamis Buck.
Run tests with
cargo test
Generate some images (into output) with the following command. Some images require downloaded *.obj files, links in src/main.rs.
cargo run --release
To profile, I used flamegraph. The --reverse option was sometimes more useful because of the recursion when shading.
cargo install flamegraph
cargo run --release
sudo flamegraph -- ./target/release/ray_tracer_challenge
open flamegraph.svg
Tests were generated from the *.feature tests from the book, by executing python tests/testgen.py.
Files in book-code were downloaded from the book’s code from the forum. The forum-scenes folder contains *.yml scene descriptions that were posted by Jamis in the forum.
