Cycles Renderer

Cycles is a path tracing renderer focused on interactivity and ease of use, while supporting many production features.

https://www.cycles-renderer.org

Building

Cycles can be built as a standalone application or a Hydra render delegate. See BUILDING.md for instructions.

Examples

The repository contains example xml scenes which could be used for testing.

Example usage:

./cycles scene_monkey.xml

You can also use optional parameters (see ./cycles --help), like:

./cycles --samples 100 --output ./image.png scene_monkey.xml

For the OSL scene you need to enable the OSL shading system:

./cycles --shadingsys osl scene_osl_stripes.xml
