miniRT

A humble ray tracer engine in C

Objective: To generate images with Raytracing protocol. Each image will represent a scene, seen from a given angle and position, defined by simple geometric objects with its own lighting system.

Features:

Ray Tracing

• [ ] Handle at least 3 geometric objects: plane, sphere, cylinder.
• [ ] Able to resize the object properties: diameter for a sphere and width and height for a cylinder.
• [ ] Able to apply translation and rotation transformation to objects, lights and cameras.
• [ ] Light management. Spot brightness, hard shadows, ambiance lighting. Ambient and diffuse lighting.

Program user features

• [ ] Program displays the image in a window.
• [ ] Pressing ESC must close the window and quit the program cleanly.
• [ ] Clicking on the cross must close the window and quit the program cleanly.
• [ ] The use of images of minilibX is strongly recommended.
• [ ] The first argument the program must take is a scene description file with .rt description.

Settings required in the .rt file

• [ ] Each type of element can be sepearated by one or more line breaks(s).
• [ ] Each type of information can be seperated by one or more space(s).
• [ ] Each type of element can be set in any order in the file.
• [ ] Elements defined by a cpaital can be declared only once in a scene.
• [ ] If there is any misconfiguration in the file, the program must exit cleanly and return 'Error\n' followed by an error message.
