2D Lights

2D Lights It’s an offline 2D Light renderer. Uses a mix of Ray Marching and Path tracing techniques to render.

The main goal of this project was to learn about PBR (Physically Based Rendering) in a simple environment, where no GPU and 3D graphics is required.

In this project, I learned about:

• Offline rendering
• 2D Signed distance fields
• Materials which determine how an object interacts with light.
  • Emission and intensity
  • Reflectance: Schlick’s approximation of Fresnel equations
  • Refraction: Snell’s law and total internal reflection
  • Absorption: Beer Lambert
• Gaussian antialiasing
• Gamma correction 2.2
