Enchiladas

A lightweight web-based platform for OSPRay renderer, built on top of the PBNJ library.

Currently depends on:

• OSPRay
• Embree
• PBNJ
• Pistache (https://github.com/seelabutk/pistache)

Setup

Automatic installation of the distributed version

You can use the distributed version that can be installed easily using the Tapestry project (https://github.com/seelabutk/tapestry).

Building from source

• git clone this repo.
• Make a resources directory and clone pbnj (https://github.com/seelabutk/pbnj).
• Also clone the Pistache repo from SeelabUTK(https://github.com/seelabutk/pistache) in resources. Specifically, we've tested revision 9d5a4132a58e4685b2a01da1496447c2e8625717.
• Make a build directory in the root and run cmake ../ inside it.
• Run ccmake . and set ospray_DIR to the install directory that contains the osprayConfig file (e.g. /home/username/ospray/install/lib/cmake/ospray-1.3.1).
• Set embree_DIR to Embree's built directory
• Configure and make.

Plugins

At the moment, you can use the Enchiladas HTTP server for running custom scripts and programs through the extern request. A request such as /extern/foo/bar runs the program foo in the plugins directory with arguments bar. The results are then routed back to the client.

If the plugins directory doesn't exist, you can create it in your build directory. Make sure that your plugin programs are executable before using them.
