Cycles is a path tracing renderer focused on interactivity and ease of use, while supporting many production features.
https://www.cycles-renderer.org
Cycles can be built as a standalone application or a Hydra render delegate. See BUILDING.md for instructions.
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
