Rendermagic is a rendering program that generates high-quality photorealistic 3D images in a speedy amount of time. Some of the big features implemented into Rendermagic are physically based rendering (PBR), global illumination and real-time ray tracing. Rendermagic includes several core components: an interface for scene setup and interaction, a basic modeling system, a basic shading system, a basic animation system, and a basic rendering system. This README will guide you through the key features and usage of Rendermagic.

To get started with Rendermagic, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/rendermagic.git - Navigate to the Rendermagic directory:
cd rendermagic - Compile or set up the project as per the provided instructions.
- Start creating and rendering your 3D scenes!
Rendermagic provides a user-friendly interface to set up scenes, add objects, and configure various rendering parameters. The interface allows you to:
- Create a new scene.
- Add and position 3D models in the scene.
- Configure camera settings such as position, orientation, and field of view.
- Set up lighting conditions.
- Specify rendering options like resolution and quality.
Rendermagic includes a basic modeling system that lets you create simple 3D models. You can define vertices, edges, and faces to construct objects. While the modeling system is limited in complexity, it serves as a foundation for more advanced applications.
The shading system enables you to apply basic materials to your models. You can specify colors, textures, and shading properties for different parts of your models. Rendermagic supports basic shading models such as Lambertian and Phong shading.
Rendermagic's animation system allows you to create basic animations by specifying keyframes for object transformations. You can define translation, rotation, and scaling over time to achieve simple object animations.
The rendering system in Rendermagic converts your scene, models, and materials into rendered images. It employs a basic rendering pipeline that includes vertex transformation, primitive assembly, shading, and rasterization. While not as feature-rich as advanced renderers, it provides a foundation for understanding rendering concepts.
Rendermagic comes with a set of example scenes and models to help you understand how to use each component. These examples cover scene setup, model creation, shading application, animation setup, and rendering. Study these examples to kick-start your understanding of the render engine.
