ChunkyCL

ChunkyCL is a plugin to the Minecraft Path-tracer Chunky which harnesses the power of the GPU with OpenCL 1.2+ to accelerate rendering. It is currently a work in progress and does not support many features such as biome tinting. The core renderer itself is still under development so render results may change drastically between versions.
