動作環境 / Confirmed Environment

現状以下の環境で動作を確認しています。
I've confirmed that the program runs correctly on the following environment.

• OS X 10.12.5 & Xcode 8.3.2 (Apple LLVM-Clang 8.1.0)
• Windows 8.1 & Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (MSVC 14.0, character-encoding conversion required)
• MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013

動作させるにあたっては以下のライブラリが必要です。
It requires the following libraries.

• OpenEXR 2.2
• libpng 1.6
• assimp 3.2

注意 / Note

モデルデータやテクスチャーを読み込むシーンファイルがありますが、それらアセットはリポジトリには含まれていません。

There are some scene files loading model data and textures, but those assets are NOT included in this repository.
