renderrr

A GPU implementation of a simple ray tracer. Some of the ray tracing features are from Ray Tracing in One Weekend and some are from Building a Ray Tracer in Python.

Running the code

First clone the code:

git clone https://github.com/siavashadpey/renderrr.git

To compile the NVIDIA GPU implementation of the code, run the following commands from the main directory renderrr:

mkdir build_parallel
cd build_parallel
cmake -DCUDA=ON ..
make

To compile the CPU implementation of the code, run the following commands from the main directory renderrr:

mkdir build_serial
cd build_serial
cmake ..
make

Finally, run the code from build_parallel (or build_serial) to generate the ppm file:

./driver/three_balls
