Building Exposure Render from source code

If you are eager to build Exposure Render yourself you should clone the release110 repository and follow these instructions .

System requirements

Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or 7.
At least 1GB of system memory.
NVIDIA CUDA-compatible GPU with compute capability 1.0 and at least 512 megabytes of DRAM. GTX270 or higher is recommended
At the moment, larger data sets might give problems, we are working on that!
