![Image shows a code example for the Python package introduced in this post.
The code is as following (for screenreaders):
import mitsuba_scene_description as msd
import mitsuba as mi
mi.set_variant("llvm_ad_rgb")
# Define components
diffuse = msd.SmoothDiffuseMaterial(reflectance=msd.RGB([0.8, 0.2, 0.2]))
ball = msd.Sphere(
radius=1.0,
bsdf=diffuse,
to_world=msd.Transform().translate(0, 0, 3).scale(0.4),
)
cam = msd.PerspectivePinholeCamera(
fov=45,
to_world=msd.Transform().look_at(
origin=[0, 1, -6], target=[0, 0, 0], up=[0, 1, 0]
),
)
integrator = msd.PathTracer()
emitter = msd.ConstantEnvironmentEmitter()
# builder pattern
scene = (
msd.SceneBuilder()
.integrator(integrator)
.sensor(cam)
.shape("ball", ball)
.emitter("sun", emitter)
.build()
)
# or
scene = msd.Scene(
integrator=integrator,
sensors=cam, # also accepts a list for multi-sensor setups
shapes={"ball": ball},
emitters={"sun": emitter},
)
mi.load_dict(scene.to_dict())
# will return:
