Rustray

May 2013

A raytracing proof-of-concept in Rust

Requirements

• Rust-0.6 (incoming)

Compiling

$ rustc rustray.rc

It's usually worth compiling with '--opt-level 3'.

Quality Settings

Now raytracing parameters are hard-coded in consts.rs, just edit it and re-compile rustray again.

Demo

This might take some time even on the strong machine, so consider choosing more simple model or adjust quality settings. :

$ wget http://groups.csail.mit.edu/graphics/classes/6.837/F03/models/cow-nonormals.obj
$ ./rustray cow-nonormals.obj
 Reading "cow-nonormals.obj"...
 Reading model file...Building kd-tree... Done.
 Loaded model.
     Verts: 4583, Tris: 25811
     KD-tree depth: 14, #nodes: 3341
 Tracing rays... using 4 tasks ... Done!
 Writing "./oput.ppm"...Done!
 Total time: 16.149s, of which tracing: 11.161
