Member Function Documentation

void Renderer::init

(

)

[virtual]

Performs any initialization which may be necessary before beginning to render the underlying scene.

Note:

Default implementation ensures we have a valid scene and camera and calls init on both of them respectively

Reimplemented in PathTracer, RayCaster, and WhittedRayTracer.

virtual void Renderer::render

(

)

[pure virtual]

Renders the underlying scene
