4rknova/xtracer repository overview

xtracer is a physically-based ray/path tracing engine built for exploration and experimentation. The core library (xtcore) handles scene parsing, ray-geometry intersection, shading, and tone mapping. It implements an API server with a job queue, progressive preview streaming, and a browser-based SPA for scene selection, rendering, log inspection, and image export in multiple formats.

The engine supports a range of integrators from simple Whitted-style ray tracing to MIS path tracing with area-light and environment sampling, plus photon mapping, ambient occlusion, and several debug views. Scenes are described in a custom .scn format covering procedural and mesh geometry, analytic cameras (thin-lens with polygonal bokeh, ODS, ERP, cubemap), and environment types including Rayleigh sky.
