This project allows to render photorealistic images. The rendering process is accelerated using NVIDIA's new RTX technology, which drastically reduces the necessary time to render high-quality images.

See this file for an example on how to use the API.

To create a new instance of momo, use:

let momo = new Momo();
await momo.create();

To start the path tracing process:

momo.execute();

This method allows to read a geometry file from a path. Currently there is only support for Wavefront OBJ files.

let Quad = momo.loadGeometryFile("assets/models/quad.obj");

This method allows to read a texture file from a path. There is support for JPG and PNG files.

let Texture = momo.loadTextureFile("assets/textures/white.png");
let Texture = momo.loadTextureFile("assets/textures/white.jpg");

This method allows to manually create a texture.

let RedTexture = momo.createTextureFromColor({
  color: [255, 0, 0],
  width: 128,
  height: 128
});

There are multiple methods to describe a scene. Note that Momo has an instancing oriented style, meaning that it recommended to re-use geometry and materials.

A transform has the following layout:

let transform = {
  scale: { x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0 },
  rotation: { x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0 },
  translation: { x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0 }
};

Transforms are used across multiple locations in the API.

// Material without using textures
let Material0 = Demo.addMaterial({
  color: [248, 122, 122],
  metalness: 0.175,
  roughness: 0.1,
  specular: 0.75,
  sheen: 0.35,
  sheenTint: 0.78
});

// Material with textures
let albedo = Demo.loadTextureFile("assets/textures/albedo.jpg");
let normal = Demo.loadTextureFile("assets/textures/normal.jpg");
let metalRoughness = Demo.loadTextureFile("assets/textures/metal_roughness.jpg");
let Material1 = Demo.addMaterial({
  albedo,
  normal,
  metalRoughness,
  specular: 0.5,
  sheen: 0.25,
  sheenTint: 0.38
});

Materials are used across multiple locations in the API.

After loading a geometry file using loadGeometryFile, you can now start adding mesh instances of that geometry to your scene.

Quad.addMeshInstance({
  transform,
  material
});

Similar to mesh instancing, you can also add an emitter instance of the geometry which is then interpreted as a light source.

Quad.addEmitterInstance({
  transform,
  material
});

Note that the only valid property of an Emitter's material is a color property, which describes the color and the energy of the light (The color isn't clamped to 0-255 range).

Quad.addEmitterInstance({
  transform,
  material: Demo.addMaterial({ color: [800, 600, 400] })
});

This project uses the following WebAssembly ports of popular C/C++ libraries:

• jpeg-turbo - For reading JPEG files
• lodepng - For reading PNG files
• tolw - For reading OBJ files

Note that when reading large Object or Texture files, the memory usage gets quite high. That's because of a WebAssembly limitation where it's not possible to actually free/shrink WebAssembly memory, you can only grow it. This can be bypassed by e.g. destroying the entire WebAssembly module after each operation.
