Python Raytracing
I'm building a simple Python raytracer with pure Python (just for the heck of it), but I've hit a roadblock.
The setup of my scene is currently this:
- Camera located at
0, -10, 0
pointing along the y-axis. - Sphere with radius
1
located at0, 0, 0
. - Imaging plane-thing is a distance of
1
away from the camera and has a width and height of0.5
.
I'm shooting photons in a uniformly randomly distribution through the imaging plane, and if a photon happens to intersect an object, I draw a red dot on the image canvas corresponding to the point on the image plane through which the ray passed.
My intersection code (I only have spheres):
def intersection(self, ray):
cp = self.pos - ray.origin
v = cp.dot(ray.direction)
discriminant = self.radius**2 - cp.dot(cp) + v * v
if discriminant < 0:
return False
else:
return ray.position(v - sqrt(discriminant)) # Position of ray at time t
And my rendering code (it renders a certain number of photons, not pixel-by-pixel):
def bake(self, rays):
self.image = Image.new('RGB', [int(self.camera.focalplane.width * 800), int(self.camera.focalplane.height * 800)])
canvas = ImageDraw.Draw(self.image)
for i in xrange(rays):
x = random.uniform(-camera.focalplane.width / 2.0, camera.focalplane.width / 2.0)
z = random.uniform(-camera.focalplane.height / 2.0, camera.focalplane.height / 2.0)
ray = Ray(camera.pos, Vector(x, 1, z))
for name in scene.objects.keys():
result = scene.objects[name].intersection开发者_运维问答(ray)
if result:
n = Vector(0, 1, 0)
d = ((ray.origin - Point(self.camera.pos.x, self.camera.pos.y + self.camera.focalplane.offset, self.camera.pos.z)).dot(n)) / (ray.direction.dot(n))
pos = ray.position(d)
x = pos.x
y = pos.y
canvas.point([int(self.camera.focalplane.width * 800) * (self.camera.focalplane.width / 2 + x) / self.camera.focalplane.width,
int(self.camera.focalplane.height * 800) * (self.camera.focalplane.height / 2 + z) / self.camera.focalplane.height],
fill = 128)
It should work properly, but when I render a test image, I get nothing that looks like the outline of a sphere:
I was expecting something like this:
Does anybody know why my code isn't functioning properly? I've been tweaking and rewriting this one part for way too long...
Are you normalising the ray's direction vector?
