Another implementation of PBRT in Rust based on the PBRT book and the C++ version by Matt Pharr, Wenzel Jacob:
> cargo build --release
> ./target/release/pbrt-rust --help
pbrt-rust 0.1
Parse a PBRT scene description file and render it
USAGE:
pbrt-rust.exe [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <input>
FLAGS:
-c, --cat Print a reformatted version of the input file(s) to standard output. Does not render an image
-h, --help Prints help information
-e, --logtostderr Print all logging messages to stderr
-t, --toply Print a formatted version of input file(s) to standard output and convert all triangle meshes
to PLY files. Does not render and image
-V, --version Prints version information
-v, --verbose set LOG verbosity
OPTIONS:
-w, --cropwindow <x0> <x1> <y0> <y1> Specify an image crop window
-l, --logdir <logdir> Specify directory that log files should be writtend to. Default: system temp
directory (e.g $TMPDIR or /tmp)
-n, --nthreads <nthreads> Use specified number of threads for rendering [default: 0]
-o, --outfile <outfile> Write the final image to the given filename
ARGS:
<input> Path to PBRT scene description file
These are the first few scenes rendered using pbrt-rust. More scenes will be rendered as I fix the remaining bugs in the system if there are any

- Render more scenes and fix any bugs
- Add more unit tests
- Do atleast some of the exercises in the book as most of them add new features to the system or improve performance
- Benchmark pbrt-rust against the C++ version
- Add a system profiler equivalent to the C++ version
- SIMD optimizations
- Add feature to create animations
- Update parts of the system to PBRTv4 when the book releases
- Implement parsing and rendering of blend files
