This is a plugin for Chunky which harnesses the power of the GPU with OpenCL 1.2+ to accelerate rendering.
This is currently a work in progress and does not support many features. The core renderer itself is still under development so render results may change drastically between versions.
Download the latest plugin build and extract it. In the Chunky Launcher, expand Advanced Settings and click on Manage plugins. In the Plugin Manager window click on Add and select the .jar file in the extracted zip file. Click on Save and start Chunky as usual.
Select ChunkyCL as your renderer for the scene in the Advanced tab.
Rough performance with a RTX 2070 is around 400 times that of the traditional CPU renderer as of 2022-01-27.
