Diary of a Path Tracer – The Beginning

Within the past few months I’ve been implementing a path tracer during my weekends and evenings. Having reached what I consider to be an acceptable stopping point, I thought it might be interesting to detail my current implementation alongside the references that inspired me. Let’s jump in!

This series will touch on a variety of features that were implemented in the path tracer. Notably:

These posts will try to explain every aspect of the path tracer as they stand but they might not be as comprehensive as the sources referenced to create it. As a result, I will strive to include all relevant sources for each feature.

You can find the path tracer here: https://github.com/AlexSabourinDev/cranberries/tree/cranberray

Next we’ll talk a about the underpinning of the path tracer, the cranberry_math library, see you then!
