A simple Raytracer written in pure Python
Sombra
Sombra is simple Raytracer written in pure Python. It’s main purpose is to help understand how raytracing works with a clean code. If you are looking for an efficient Raytracer you should probably use something like C++. The equations used are taken from the Image Synthesis class at Texas A&M University taught by professor Ergun Akleman.
The main program creates a raytraced image of a scene with simple objects like spheres and planes. It’s using a resolution of 280x192px by default and random jitter anti-aliasing with 4 samples per axis.
Usage
- Install all dependencies by running
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt - Run
python -u main.pyorpython -u main.py -dto use debug mode which
will not use Anti-Aliasing (-u is for displaying print
