Run Pre-Built Samples

Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit
with Intel OSPRay. By default, the
Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit
is installed to
/opt/intel/oneapi/
directory. Replace
<install-dir>
with the default or your custom installation path.
A
.ppm
image viewer (
for example, ImageMagick* or GIMP*
)

Open a new terminal window. Open Spotlight* tool and enter

Terminal

.

Go to a writable directory and create a directory to save the sample application results to.

For example, create the

rk_gsg

folder

:

cd ~

mkdir rk_gsg

cd rk_gsg

Set environment variables so that programs can see Render Kit runtime libraries. From the terminal, do one of the following:

Run the script to set the variables:

source <install-dir>/setvars.sh

Set the

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

manually:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=<install-dir>/rkcommon/latest/lib:<install-dir>/ospray/latest/lib:<install-dir>/oidn/latest/lib:<install-dir>/embree/latest/lib:<install-dir>/openvkl/latest/lib:<install-dir>/tbb/latest/lib

Run

ospTutorial

:

<install-dir>/ospray/latest/bin/ospTutorial

If the sample executes successfully, you should see two

.ppm

images in the working directory:

firstFrame.ppm

and

accumulatedFrame.ppm

.

Open the resulting files

with

Preview

.

:

open firstFrame.ppm

open accumulatedFrame.ppm

The
firstFrame.ppm
shows the image after one call to a renderer, which results in triangles with jagged edges and noise in the shadow.

The
accumulatedFrame.ppm
shows the image after ten calls to a renderer, which results in triangles with antialiased edges and converged shadows. Multiple calls to a renderer enable progressive refinement and enhance image quality.

Run the ospExamples Sample Application

Run the

ospExamples

sample application as follows:

<install-dir>/ospray/latest/bin/ospExamples

A new GUI window will open with multiple simple scenes composed of basic geometry types, lights, and volumes. You can edit the scene by clicking the drop-down buttons. Move the camera by clicking and holding a mouse button, then dragging the mouse. See https://www.ospray.org/tutorials.html for details about controls.

Build and Run a Sample

Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit
(
Render Kit
) with Intel OSPRay. The tutorial describes how to build a sample Intel OSPRay application, which is part of
Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit
. By default, the
Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit
is installed to directory. Replace
<install-dir>
with the default or your custom installation path.
A system compiler that supports C99 and C++11. This tutorial uses the included default C/C++ compiler with Xcode*.
Git*
CMake* 3.12 or higher
A
.ppm
image viewer (
for example, ImageMagick* or GIMP*
)

Open a

new terminal.

Create a directory for sample result files in a user-writeable location. For example, to create the

rk_gsg

folder in the

~

home directory

:

cd ~

mkdir ~/rk_gsg

cd rk_gsg

Ensure that Git is available:

which git

git --version

You should get the version of Git installed on your machine.

Set environment variables so that programs can see Render Kit runtime libraries. From the terminal, do one of the following:

Run the script to set the variables:

source <install-dir>/setvars.sh

Set the

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

manually:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=<install-dir>/rkcommon/latest/lib:<install-dir>/ospray/latest/lib:<install-dir>/oidn/latest/lib:<install-dir>/embree/latest/lib:<install-dir>/openvkl/latest/lib:<install-dir>/tbb/latest/lib

For corporate network users: Configure the Git proxy server if necessary:

git config --global http.proxy http://<user>:<pass>@proxy.<server>.com:<port>

git config --global https.proxy https://<user>:<pass>@proxy.<server>.com:<port>

Ensure that CMake is available:

which cmake

cmake --version

You should see the version of CMake installed on your machine. It should be 3.1 or higher.

Clone the Intel OSPRay GitHub* project:

git clone --no-checkout https://github.com/ospray/ospray.git ospray

cd ospray

Fetch the version tags:

git fetch --tags

Check out the tutorial sources for the Intel OSPRay. Pick the version from your deployment of the Intel oneAPI Rendering Toolkit release:

git checkout tags/v2.6.0

cd apps/ospTutorial/ospTutorialFindospray

Configure and build the sample in a Release mode:

export rkcommon_DIR=<install-dir>/rkcommon/latest

export embree_DIR=<install-dir>/embree/latest

export openvkl_DIR=<install-dir>/openvkl/latest

export ospray_DIR=<install-dir>/ospray/latest

mkdir build

cd build

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

cmake --build .

Run the sample application:

./ospTutorialFindospray

If the sample executes successfully, you should see two

.ppm

images in the working directory:

firstFrame.ppm

and

accumulatedFrame.ppm

.

Open the resulting files

with

Preview

.

:

open firstFrame.ppm

open accumulatedFrame.ppm

The
firstFrame.ppm
shows the image after one call to a renderer, which results in triangles with jagged edges and noise in the shadow.

The
accumulatedFrame.ppm
shows the image after ten accumulations, which result in triangles with antialiased edges and converged shadows. Multiple accumulations enable progressive refinement and enhance image quality.

Next Steps

Review the API details provided in the Intel OSPRay documentation.
Review other Intel OSPRay sample programs located in the
<install-dir>/ospray/latest/bin
directory. Refer to the Intel OSPRay documentation for usage details.
The default installation directory is
/opt/intel/oneapi
. If you installed the
Render Kit
to a custom directory, replace the
<install-dir>
with your custom installation path.

Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit
macOS* build guide
to build the libraries. Also, use the guide to review, explore, and rebuild the sample application.
