Crate crystal_ball

Overview

Crystal Ball is a path tracing library written in Rust.

It uses rayon for parallelization and can save the rendered image in various formats thanks to the image crate.

Example Usage

use std::path::Path;

use crystal_ball::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let objects = vec![
        Sphere::new()
            .with_center(Vec3::new(0.0, 0.0, -1.0))
            .with_radius(0.5)
            .with_material(Material::Diffuse {
                color: Color::new(1.0, 0.45, 0.31),
            }),
        Sphere::new()
            .with_center(Vec3::new(0.0, -100.5, -1.0))
            .with_radius(100.0)
            .with_material(Material::Diffuse {
                color: Color::new(0.7, 0.7, 0.7),
            }),
    ];


    let scene = Scene::new()
        .with_camera(Camera::new())
        .with_objects(objects);

    let engine = RenderEngine::new(32, 8); // Samples and max bounces
    let mut image = engine.render(&scene);

    image
        .write(Path::new("output/example_render.png"))
        .expect("Error writing rendered image");
}
