TaKe is a path tracer based on UCSD CSE 168 renderer Torrey written in C++ 17. TaKe (竹, たけ) means bamboo in Japanese. It is also a radical in the main author's Chinese last name 管.

This renderer is implemented from scratch except for the scene parser and some basic mathematical object classes**.**

TaKe is actively under development, please check this Github Repo.

Key Features:

• Monte Carlo path tracing
• Bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs) acceleration
• Textures
• Microfacet BRDFs
• Multiple importance sampling (both One-sample model and Multiple-sample model)
• Importance sampled environment light / IBL
• Multithreading acceleration
• Mitsuba scene format parser
• std::variant based polymorphism

Our primary objective is to seamlessly incorporate the key features from the following projects, all of which share the same author:

• Disney principled BSDF from LaJollaTube
• Heterogeneous volumetric rendering from LaJollaTube
• ReSTIR DI (Paper Link) from LajollaPlus
• CUDA Acceleration from Torrey GPU
