ProRender SDK

Repository preparation

Ebuild for SDK installation not in official gentoo repository, but can be found in feniksa overlay. Use eselect repository to configure the additional repository.

eselect repository

Install app-eselect/eselect-repository:

root #emerge --ask --noreplace app-eselect/eselect-repository

Enable and sync the feniksa repository:

root #eselect repository enable feniksa

root #emerge --sync feniksa

SDK installation

To install Radeon Pro Render SDK:

root #emerge --ask dev-libs/radeon-pro-render-sdk

Tutorials

Build

Install the package with the examples USE flag:

root #emerge --ask dev-libs/radeon-pro-render-sdk[examples]

Run

All tutorial binaries may be found at /usr/share/RadeonProRender/tutorials/Bin directory. First, let's check ProRender initialize

root #

cd /usr/share/RadeonProRender/tutorials/Bin

root #./00_context_creation64D

Radeon ProRender SDK simple context creation tutorial.
RPR Context creation succeeded.
GPU0 name : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

If everything is fine, last line should show GPU name. It means, that RadeonProRender correctly initialize OpenCL, found available GPU and initialized resources for PBR rendering . Source code of this tutorial may be found at /usr/share/RadeonProRender/tutorials/00_context_creation/main.cpp

Note
First run may take up to 2 minutes for RadeonProRender kernel compilation

Let's run some PBR

root #

cd /usr/share/RadeonProRender/tutorials/Bin

root #./22_material_uber64D

RPR Context creation succeeded.

In folder /usr/share/RadeonProRender/tutorials/Bin should be png files with result of rendering. Source code of material creation may be found at /usr/share/RadeonProRender/tutorials/22_material_uber/main.cpp

Image Processing Library

To install Radeon Pro Render Image Filtering library

root #emerge --ask dev-libs/radeon-pro-image-filter

Tutorials

Build

Install the package with the examples USE flag:
