Antimatter

Interactive WebGL path tracer, this insanity presented to you by Jean d'Arc.

Navigation is based on a first person shooter (keep left button down), quirky I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Agreement

This prototype uses a graphics engine that will stress your machine to its limits and, depending on your hardware, may cause your computer to become unresponsive and/or crash your graphics driver.

This prototype has only been tested against recent versions of Chrome and Firefox.

We strongly recommend you save all your work before proceeding, your use of this prototype is done at your sole risk! Close that spreadsheet before proceeding... mkay!

Instructions

Viewport

Moving

Movement is performed using the keyboard, hold A to move left, hold W to move forward, hold S to move backwards, hold D to move right. You can also hold a combination of keys to move left and forward, left and backwards, right and forwards or right and backwards.

Looking

Move the pointer over the viewport, drag (hold the left mouse button down and move) the pointer left to right and up or down to change the virtual camera's orientation.

Focal Point

Double click anywhere in the scene to set the focal point for depth of field calculations.

Configuration

Size

Width of the rendered image, height scales proportionally. Use lower resolutions on slower machines.

Bounces

The maximum number of times a ray can bounce before termination. Set this value as low as possible for faster convergence, higher values are needed for transparent materials.

Depth of Field

Activates or deactivates Depth of Field effect.

Blur Radius

Controls the strength of the Depth of Field.

Stretch Viewport

Activates or deactivates stretching the rendered image to fill all available empty space.

Environment

Constant Color

Rendered image will use a constant color as both the background and for illumination of the scene.

HDR Image

Rendered image will use the provided HDR Image as both the background and for illumination of the scene. The image is hardcoded for this version of the prototype and can not be modified.

Rotation

Use the rotation slider to rotate the environment map.

Exposure

Controls the brightness of the environment map.

Lighting

Enabled

Activates or deactivates the spherical light source.

Radius

Adjusts the size of the spherical light source.

Position

Adjusts the position of the light source along the X, Y and Z axis respectively.

Ground

Enabled

Activates or deactivates the infinite plane ground.

Normal Mapping

Activates or deactivates normal mapping of the ground, the normal map is hardcoded for this prototype.

Intensity

Adjusts the strength of the normal mapping effect.

Resources

Resource

Click on the resource to load its corresponding scene, this will reset any changes you have made to light source and ground materials. The name and size in kilobytes of the scene are displayed below each resource.

Materials

Materials

Lists all editable materials present in the scene. Click on a material in the list to make it the active selection for editing.

LIGHT

Material properties of the spherical light source.

GROUND

Material properties of the infinite plane ground.

Diffuse

Color of the material under pure white light.

Specular

Color of the specular reflection.

Transmissive

Color of the light allowed to filter through the material.

Emissive

Color of the light emitted by the material, alongside the intensity multiplier.

Reflectivity

Controls the probability of the ray reflecting off the material.

Roughness

Adjusts the surface roughness, lower values result in smoother surfaces.

Transparency

Controls the probability of the ray refracting through the material.

Index

Combined refractive and reflective index of the material.
