6. Advanced Rendering

In this tutorial, we will show you how to use MetaSim to render the scene with advanced rendering techniques. We currently support rasterization, ray tracing, and path tracing.

Common Usage

python get_started/6_advanced_rendering.py  --render.mode=[rasterization|raytracing|pathtracing]

you can also render in the headless mode by adding --headless flag. By using this, there will be no window popping up and the rendering will also be faster.

By running the above command, you will simulate a hybrid system and it will automatically record a video. Here we demonstrate how to use one simulator for physics simulation and another simulator for rendering.

Examples

Ray Tracing

python get_started/6_advanced_rendering.py  --render.mode=raytracing

Path Tracing

python get_started/6_advanced_rendering.py  --render.mode=pathtracing

You will get the following images:
