Weekends can be busy for many of us, but sometimes you have a glorious free and full possibilities. If you are, you could consider taking a look [Peter Shirley]’s e-book “Learning RayTracing in a weekend”.
This is very sort of zero-to-hero class: it starts to define the PPM image format, which is easy to make and manipulate with the help of almost every language. The book uses C ++, but if [Peter] points to the introduction, you do not have to follow in that language; There is nothing unique about C ++ that you could not implement in your favorite language.
There are many types of jet tracers. Technically, what you have to end up after the weekend of the weekend is a mushroom. You will not replace the renderer of the blender cycles with the work of your weekend, but you will get a number of beautiful images and a place to expand. [Peter] succeeds in cramming many topics in a weekend, including diffuse materials, metals, dialectrics, deFraction and camera classes with simple lens effects.
If you are with a little more time, [Peter] Have you covered. He also published books about “Raytracing: the following week. “If you have much more time, view his third book:“Raytracing: the rest of your life. “
This weekend e-book shows that Ray-Tracing does not have to be the darkest occult sciences; It also does not need hardware. Even an Arduino can do it ..
