Photo Realistic Rendering - 2019 Computer Graphics

Basic Functions

• Multiple parametric objects supported, i.e. plane, sphere, cube and rotary bezier curve
• Mesh object (loaded via OBJ file)
• Stackless KD-tree accelaration
• Axis aligned boundingbox
• Nvidia CUDA support (much faster than CPU implementation using OpenMP)
• Surface texture mapping
• Natural depth of field
• ...

Supported Render Algorithms

• Path Tracing with Anti-aliasing (CPU and GPU)
• Stochastic Progressive Photon Mapping (CPU only)

Dependencies

• OpenCV (for reading texture image, i.e., jpeg or png)
• CUDA (if you want to compile GPU version)

Build and Execution

mkdir build && cd build 
cmake ../src -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DBUILD_CUDA=true|false -DBUILD_TEST=true|false ## Enable CUDA or test building according to your need 
make

To render, use the following command

./main PT [out_filename] [width] [height] [num_spp]
./main SPPM [out_filename] [width] [height] [num_rounds] [num_photons_per_round]
./main_gpu [out_filename] [width] [height] [num_spp]
