I would like mainly for learning purposes at the moment to get familiar with how Cycles works. I have a solid grasp on the fundamentals but I’m a bit intimidated with the actual implementation in C++.
The way I usually go about this is by stepping through the code in debug mode. I have the basic setup in Visual Studio building correctly but can’t figure out how I would go about launching a render and hitting a breakpoint / getting into debug mode to start stepping through it.
Is there any documentation outlining the basic flow of a cycles render and how Cycles is integrated into Blender?
I think it would be a useful thing for the core dev team to work on as it would help people that want to contribute get up to speed faster.
