SRender

SRender is a software renderer written from scratch in C++11 with no dependencies (except win32 for display image) for windows platform. The purpose of writing this renderer is mainly for better understanding basic CG knowledge and algorithms.

The number of core codes is about 2000 lines, so it's easy for studying or reading. You can feel free to make changes on this project. Here some screenshots of SRender:

Image-based lighting

Blinn-Phong Shading

Main Features

• Blinn-Phong shading
• Perspective correct interpolation
• Back-face culling
• Homogeneous clipping
• Cubemap skybox
• Physically based rendering (PBR)
• Metallic-roughness workflow
• Image-based lighting (IBL)
• movable camera

Binaries for Usage

The pre-built binaries can be found in binary_exe_file document. You can start with binaries and obj assets. (Note: the obj document should be placed in the parent directory of binaries)

The obj models are a little bit big, it can also be downloaded from here:

Build

If you want to check more details of SRender, the cmakelists.txt file is provided for building project files using CMake.

For visual studio:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" ..
start Renderer.sln

Another way is directly opening the SRender file with CLION, it will automatically configure the project.

Control of Camera

• Rotation: holding left mouse button
• Pan: holding right mouse button
• Zoom: mouse wheel
