Cameray

Cameray is a lens editor and simulator for fun. It's could be used for studying an optics system of DSLR in an interactive way. But the project is in a very early version. The program is still crash-prone and also lack of many realistic camera features now.

Usage

Just clone the repo and go to the root directory and run

You can install it by pip using:

python -m pip install cameray

and then enter

cameray

to run it.

Or, just clone the repo and go to the root directory and run

python -m pip install setuptools
python setup.py sdist
python setup.py install

and enter

cameray

to run it.

Credits

  • Taichi is the core of the simulator. It's a powerful programming language embedded in Python for high-performance numerical computations. Without the help of it, this project can not be implemented in such an efficient way in Python. (The ray-tracing part of the project is from Taichi's cornell box example now. A general renderer should replace it in the near future.)

  • DearPyGui, an easy-to-use Python GUI framework based on ImGUI. Besides the native ImGUI widgets, it also wraps many other 3rd party ImGUI plugins (Imnodes). It's convenient to provide a friendly GUI for Cameray.

Dependencies

Cameray only could be run in Python 3.7/3.7/3.8/3.9 because Taichi only support these versions.

Roadmap

  • Stablity

  • A more realistic camera model considering general optical spectrum

  • General renderer

  • A more detail 2D camera illustration. (More kinds of rays and lens data)

  • Undo/Redo for Editor
