Ray Tracing codes. I follow Peter Shirley's Ray Tracing trilogy. The goal is to have the same output with Python, solving the performance problems.
You can test it from Hugging Face Spaces: https://huggingface.co/spaces/goedev/rayt-web
Note
The project has different solutions of implementing ray tracing. It will not have a stable version, some solutions may be deleted or replaced in future. Take a look at this post for more information.
This project uses Python 3.13 and UV package manager.
# Basic rendering (300px wide, CPU engine)
uv run one-weekend --image-width=300 --samples-per-pixel=20 > image_numba.ppm
# High quality rendering, using rust
uv run one-weekend --image-width=1200 --samples-per-pixel=100 --engine=rust > image_rust.ppm
# GPU rendering (if CUDA available)
uv sync --group cuda
uv run one-weekend --image-width=2400 --samples-per-pixel=200 --engine=cuda > image_cuda.ppm- CPU Optimization: Numba JIT compilation for fast CPU rendering
- GPU Acceleration: CUDA support for parallel GPU rendering
- Depth of Field: Camera blur effects with configurable aperture and focus distance
- Materials: Lambertian, Metal, and Dielectric (glass) materials
- CLI Interface: Configurable image dimensions, sampling, and rendering engines
