# rt: A C++11, STL-only, CPU-only, threaded, portable, brute-force ray-tracing image renderer

## Features

- Lock-free parallel rendering (no task queue)
- SSAA (Super-sampling anti-aliasing)
- Materials:
    + Diffusive (lambertian, hemispherical)
    + Reflective (fuzzy, perfectly-smooth)
    + Dielectric (reflective & refractive & total internal reflection)
- Shapes:
    + Sphere
- Styling
    + Positionable camera
    + Depth of Field
- Misc:
    + Text printing (font data copied
      from [cse457](https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse457/98a/tech/OpenGL/font.c))
    + Benchmarking (PRNG, pixel filling)
    + Ray-Trace logging (very comprehensive log, examples are shown below)

## Tested platforms

- Linux
- Win32 (Windows 10)

## Ray-Trace logging

A piece of example ray:
