Overview

A CPU Rasterizer written in Rust between Block B and C during Y2 in BUas.

This personal project served as my introduction to the Rust programming language. I looked into all of the quality-of-life improvements this language supports over C++ like easy CI/CD, formatting, and warning handling (linting).

I wrote this project as part of a masterclass held at the university. At the end of the masterclass, there was a competition for the most impressive rasterizer. My renderer was chosen and I won a little 3D-printed Ferris The Crab, Rust's mascot.

Thanks to this and previous school projects I was selected to intern at Traverse Research for their "Summer of Code" internship program.

Features

• Basic glTF Model Loading
• Frustum Culling

Rendering:

• Multithreaded Fragment Shader
• Textures
• Samplers (ClampToEdge, Repeat, Mirror)
• Clipping and Backface Culling
• Normals Rendering
• Vertex Colors

Render Modes:

(Switch render modes with M1 and M2)

• Basic Lambertian Albedo shading
• Vertex Color
• Albedo
• Albedo + Vertex Color
• Model Vertex Normal

Getting Started

1. Make sure you have Rust installed.
2. Clone the project: git clone https://github.com/thepaladon/rust_erizer
3. Inside the project directory run: cargo run -r

Note: Running the project in Release (-r) is a must since the rendering code runs on the CPU.
