Software Rasterizer (and OpenCL implementation)

School assignment in year 2 to make a Software Renderer

Assignment Requirements: #

Rendering: #

• Perspective correct texturing and depth interpolation;
• Sub-pixel & sub-texel accurate for all input;
• Correct sorting using z-buffering.

Scene: #

• Object must requires a scene graph, at least 3 levels deep;
• Object must be user-controllable at various levels;
• Application must load the scene and materials from obj/mtl file(s);
• Scenegraph does not have to be loaded from a file.

Architecture: #

• Clear data ownership;
• Scene must clean up completely when deleted (no leaks);
• Triangle & vertex data must be relocatable / serializable.

Performance: #

• Not a requirement (however, slideshow = no respect).

Debugging: #

Showcase: #

OpenCL: #

For a later assignment in year 3 I took the opportunity of writing some code for the GPU, To add a “hardware renderer” to this framework. mostly because i thought it would be funny.
