Raytracer

A 3D raytracer built in C++ using SFML for rendering. Renders scenes defined in configuration files with support for multiple primitives, lights, and shading models.

Features

• Primitives: Spheres, Cylinders, Cones
• Lighting: Directional lights, Point lights, Cone lights
• Shading: Phong reflection model
• Camera: Configurable field of view and position
• Scene parser: Config-file driven scene description
• Output: Renders directly to an SFML window

Requirements

• C++17 compiler (g++)
• SFML 2 (brew install sfml@2 on macOS)

Build & Run

make
./raytracer <config_file>

Example:

./raytracer Config/config

make re     # clean rebuild
make fclean # remove all binaries
