Vaportrace is the successor to Renderdude: Raytracer, with "not doing it myself" multithreading, noise textures, and other interesting changes and whatnots.

How to use

Run build.bat, and make sure you have GLM 0.9.8.5, a math library used by the raytracer, just in a cozy folder next to the stuff, and use the GCC compiler of course. Make sure it can support c++17 and OpenMP. Honestly, you should always have the latest version of the compiler.

Feel free to change the options.ini file! Make it do all sorts of good stuff. Easy to understand too.

Objects you can render

Currently supported are Spheres, Planes, Diks and WIP~ Triangles. In the future Models will be supported in .obj format.

Credits where its due!

Some of the libraries from Nothings are used. Syoyo's tinyobjloader is there for when I start working on model stuff. I thank some of the people from the Game Dev League discord's #misc-dev for helping me with some stuff. They are cool.
