Master 1 Computer Science project aimed at creating a snowman in c++ starting from scratch using raymarching.

The constraints are:

• The snowman must be created using only the standard library
• The rendering time must be less than 1 hour

The snowballs making up the structure of the snowman use Brownian motion to create a more natural look.

We also used the smooth-union function to create a smooth transition between the snowballs and other shapes.

• Claire Kurth - clairekth
• Victor Dallé - victord54

• Inigo Quilez for the smooth-union function and the distance functions
• Daniel Shiffman for the Brownian motion algorithm
• Dmitry Sokolov for the bootstrap code

• C++ compiler
• CMake
• Make

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/clairekth/Snowman.git
cd Snowman
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make && ./snowman
