The Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit (Render Kit) is designed to accelerate photorealistic rendering workloads with rendering and ray-tracing libraries to create high-performance, high-fidelity visual experiences. You can get the most from Intel® hardware by optimizing performance at any scale with these libraries. Creators, scientists, and engineers can push the boundaries of visualization by using the toolkit to develop studio animation and visual effects or to create scientific and industrial visualizations.
You can find more information at Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit.

The getting started samples demonstrate an ordered source code introduction to the functionality of Render Kit libraries. These samples supplement the Get Started Guides:
- Get Started with the Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit for Windows
- Get Started with the Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit for Linux
- Get Started with the Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit for macOS
Try the getting started sample programs in the order shown in the table. The output of a sample may serve as input for another sample. Use the specific README.md of each for instructions.
