Sombra is simple Raytracer written in pure Python.

Overview

Sombra

Sombra is simple Raytracer written in pure Python. It's main purpose is to help understand how raytracing works with a clean code. If you are looking for an efficient Raytracer you should probably use something like C++. The equations used are taken from the Image Synthesis class at Texas A&M University taught by professor Ergun Akleman.

The main program creates a raytraced image of a scene with simple objects like spheres and planes. It's using a resolution of 280x192px by default and random jitter anti-aliasing with 4 samples per axis.

showcase image

Usage

  • Install all dependencies by running python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Run python -u main.py or python -u main.py -d to use debug mode which will not use Anti-Aliasing (-u is for displaying print messages in the console)
  • The output image will be stored in the project folder

Features

  • Sphere, Plane and Triangle objects
  • Diffuse, Specular and Border shaders
  • Area, Directional, Point and Spot lights
  • Change Field of View of camera by changing d (distance) and scale x and y parameters
  • Anti-Aliasing using Random Jitter
  • Reflection by setting Ks value to materials
  • Image textures
  • Normal Maps
  • Environment Sphere Map
  • Animation by running a physics simulation of a moving sphere

Documentation

You can see the documentation in the wiki

Testing

To run the tests use unittest in this way python -m unittest -v tests. This will run every test in the "tests" module, if you add new tests make sure to import them into the "__init__.py" file of the "tests" folder.

Dependencies

You will need to install

  • Python (3 and 2.7 are supported)

And external Python modules

  • numpy
  • pillow
  • progress

You can install the required python modules by running: python -m pip install -r requirements.txt or installing them individually: python -m pip install numpy pillow progress

  • v0.9.1(Oct 18, 2021)

    Optimization of rendering using multiprocessing. Now it's using about 30% of the memory it used before and it's faster. That's because now rays are created and traced in the same function that goes in parallel.

    Also now using imap_unordered function for memory optimization (https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.pool.Pool.map)

  • v0.9.0(Dec 28, 2020)

    • Use many processes with multiprocessing library
    • This is a first version, it's not efficient with memory. It creates every ray at the beginning (memory expensive) and creates a pool with all of them, in the future maybe it would be better to create some of the rays, start the workers, wait for them, then create more rays, and assign to workers like that in a loop until the entire screen is finished
