Welcome to the pb_ray project! This will be a ray tracer that is initially
based on the first edition of the book "Physically Based Rendering: From Theory to
Implementation". There is a second edition of the book, but SafariBooksOnline
only has the first edition. An Amazon link to the second edition of the book is
here.
Goals
I have several goals for this project:
- Implement the ray tracer as described by the book.
- Write unit tests along the way using the googletest framework.
- Use the googlemock framework for mock objects.
- Use CMake to make the ray tracer buildable on Windows (Visual Studio 2010) and *nix variants (including Mac OSX).
Building The Source: -------------------- To build pb_ray on Linux, do the following:
- In the build directory, run
cmake .. - In the build directory, run
make
To build using LLVM's static analysis tool, scan-build, do the following:
- In the build directory, run
../scan_build_configure .. - In the build directory, run
../scan_build_make
Note: the first build will (and consecutive builds may) take a while because googletest and googlemock are downloaded via svn during the build process.
