Cycles Renderer standalone

Coding Beginning Blender Code and Development

Hey guys,

There was no active thread on Cycles standalone to test and ask questions about so started this.

I git cloned : git clone git://git.blender.org/cycles.git

But their is no make.bat file and cmake just gives me a million errors. Does someone with experience mind explaining how to compile cycles standalone on windows?

It’s just going to be easier making code changes in that first.

Im making changes to opengl to replace with Vulkan for standalone (also with Vulkan based intersection compute changes)

Cheers

so started this.
Shame you started it in the wrong place. This hardly fits in the ‘Latest News’ forum

Sorry, Saw blender 2.78 threads and other bits similar so thought it would be relevant. Move if needed.

It will probably be easier to check out the main repository and enable WITH_CYCLES_STANDALONE in CMake - that should give you a separate Cycles executable as well.

Having said that, Cycles standalone is in a pretty bad shape - I’m not even sure whether it works at all, there’s no documentation on the file format, and especially the GUI is 100% unmaintained…

If you tell us what errors you get from Cmake, that will help.
