Ray Tracer

An experimental Ray Tracer built following The Ray Tracer Challenge¹ in Rust with a few of my own additions and optimizations leveraging multi-threading and caching matrix operations.

Building

cargo build --release

Example Renders

There are a handful of example renders which are built into the ray tracer. List them using --help. Some renders can take a long time so it's also recommended to specify as many threads as you can spare with --threads.
