Bounce

A multithreaded raytracer written in Rust.

Features

Currently, Bounce supports:

• Rendering spheres
• Camera with adjustable position, direction, depth of field, and field of view
• Diffuse (Lambertian), glass (Schlick), and metallic material
• Multithreaded rendering using rayon
• OBJ file loading and rendering
• Efficient ray-intersection queries using bounding volume hierarchies
  • Converts the $O(N)$ queries into $O(\log N)$, improving speeds by over 1000x for highly complex scenes (over 1M triangles).

Planned features

In the future, I plan to add:

• Textures
• Additional object types beyond spheres
• Lights
• Interactive 3D scene builder
