This is a reference code for the poster `Guided Path Tracing Using Clustered Virtual Point Lights' in SIGGRAPH Asia 2015.
The code is made to educate myself about physically based rendering a long time ago, with inspiration drawn from PBRT and Mitsuba. Please feel free to use it for your research.
The code includes Breakfast, an example scene originally modelled by Wig42 on BlendSwap. The painting on the wall is digitized from an acryllic painting by my little sister Kim.
To compile, please use Visual Studio 2013 Community edition.
Unpack precompiled.zip which contains all required dependencies to the source code folder. It also contains a precompiled Windows x64 binary for the renderer.
To run, go to dist folder, and execute
renzoku.exe scenes/breakfast/breakfast_metro.json
The images will be saved to the data folder in EXR format.
If you find the code useful for your research, please cite the poster:
