System Requirements

Your device must contain a GPU that contains the OpenCL 1.2 runtime or newer. If your device contains multiple GPUs then the first one found by the program will be chosen.

Installation Guide

Pre-built binaries can be downloaded from the GitHub releases page https://github.com/SolomonBaarda/fractal-geometry-renderer/releases. Download and extract the .zip file for the version you would like to run.

User Guide

The application should be run from the command line. For example, using cmd on Windows, the Mandelbulb scene could be run using

‍FractalGeometryRenderer -s "kernels/mandelbulb.cl" -r 1920 1080

Command Line Options
Command	Parameters	Description
-h,–help		Lists available commands
-s,–scene	String/path	Path to the scene to load
-i,–include	List of strings/paths	Additional file paths to be included by the OpenCL compiler
-r,–resolution	Width and height as integers	Resolution of the window to create
-w,–work-group-size	Positive integer	Manually specify the size of each work group (max is usually 256 for most devices)
-f,–force-high-precision		Manually disable the fast-maths OpenCL compiler optimisations. This will result in a significant performance loss
-m,–mouse-sensitivity	Float	Mouse sensitivity when controlling the scene camera

By default, the kernels/include directory is included by the application. If your scene uses includes outside of this file, then the path must be specified when running the application using -i
