Fork of PBRT v2 for COMP 408 at VUW. Not really a fork because of build system changes and removing all but the renderer source.

Original here.

This is just the PBRT renderer (no tools / exporters), with a CMake build system.

Bison and Flex are required in order to generate the parser and lexer.

The master branch has the CMake and pbrt-v2 source (modified just enough to build nicely).

From repository root:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j4
cd ..

Then run like:

./build/bin/pbrt ./scenes/bunny.pbrt

Somewhat old but sufficient versions of Bison and Flex can be obtained from here and here. These must be installed to a path without spaces, e.g. C:\GnuWin32\; note that the default does not satisfy this. The binary directory must be added to your path to allow CMake to find the executables.

From repository root, in cmd:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64"

In VS:

• Set pbrt as the startup project
• Set its working directory to $(SolutionDir).. (all configs)
• Set its command arguments to e.g. ./scenes/bunny.pbrt (all configs)
• Switch to release config, as non-optimized builds will be very slow to render
