This is a raytracer written in Rust for displaying raytraced images in the terminal with support for lighting, shadows, reflections and multi-threaded rendering.
- Based on the book Computer Graphics from Scratch by Gabriel Gambetta.
- The engine used for the canvas is gemini-engine by me - a monospaced 2d/3d rendering engine for the terminal, though for this project i only really used the 2D half of it
This project can also be added as a cargo package with cargo add --git https://github.com/, if you wanna put together your own scene.
The result looks like this:
Yup, every single one of those pixels is a text character. The final result takes only ~30 milliseconds to render
