Execution

To execute the raytracer, you need to run the following command:

Run the raytracer
./raytracer [scene.cfg]

The scene.cfg file is a configuration file that describes the scene to render. You can find examples in the scenes folder of the project.

Available flags:

  • -d, --display The graphical plugin to use to display the image. e.g. libsfml.so
  • -h, --help Display this help message
  • -o, --output The output file that will contain the rendered image. e.g. image.ppm
  • -p, --preview Display a preview of the image
