PSRayTracing

Benjamin Summerton

About this app

This is a GUI frontend for the PSRayTracing implementation of the "Ray Tracing in One Weekend" books by Peter Shirley (and others). Which renders the images in the book faster than the reference code, but also offers other features (e.g. threading, render progress, toggle-able and more).

The source code for this program, as well as a report auditing all of the changes/improvements, is freely available at:

Ratings and reviews

This is an exellent app that allows your phone to produce raytracing images, though i have 3 sugestions 1, If you could add a download button so you can download images at a higher than naitive screenshot resolution. 2, could you a some sort of simple game to play while the project is loading or a notifacation that shows background progress, and 3. add Dark mode option. If you can do this, (mainly #1) i will give you six stars!

Pretty fun to play with the values and draining your battery. Those assortment of scenes are good examples for ray tracing.

App fails to start from the app drawer but runs when I open it from app info menu (on long press). The application itself works fine. Will update this review once it's fixed.
