Rendering

1. cd into the target assignment folder

cd Assignment1

2. A Makefile is provided, for compiling and rendering:

• To render the still image, run the default recipe:

make

• To render the animation, run the following command:

make animation

• To render both:

make all

• To remove the render folder and all the executables

make clean

A folder render containing the rendered material is created.

We use ffmpeg to convert the rendered .ppm file into .png.

All the frames are stored in render/animation. The animation frames are joined together by ffmpeg into a .gif loop animation and an .mp4 file.


By default, the program will render an image of the scene described by the sceneDefinition() function in renderer.h.

The animation is defined in the animation.cpp file.
