v1.4.0

Install

Download the bundled per-OS zip for your platform — it
contains the binary plus Scenes/, models/, spd/,
luts/, and lib/ (OIDN runtime), all pre-arranged. The
binary needs those folders next to it at startup.

• Windows: pcr-v1.4.0-windows-x64.zip →
  extract → double-click physically-cringe-rendering.exe
  (GPU GUI), frank-based-rendering.exe (CPU GUI), or run
  frank-based-rendering-cli.exe from a terminal. SmartScreen
  warns the first time; click More info → Run anyway.
• macOS (Apple Silicon):
  pcr-v1.4.0-macos-arm64.zip → extract →
  from a terminal in the extracted folder, run
  xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine . to clear the Gatekeeper
  quarantine flag, then double-click
  physically-cringe-rendering (Metal-backed GPU GUI) or
  run ./frank-based-rendering-cli from terminal.
• Linux: pcr-v1.4.0-linux-x64.zip →
  extract → chmod +x if needed → ./physically-cringe-rendering.
  GPU GUI needs OpenGL 4.3.

Standalone binary downloads

Individual binaries are also published (no bundled folders).
They're useful when you already have the data folders from a
previous version and just want to swap the executable. For
first-time install, prefer the bundled zip above.

Verify a render

Each PNG carries embedded tEXt metadata (Software, Backend,
Scene, all render parameters, render time). Read it with
exiftool yourimage.png (or any tool that handles PNG tEXt
chunks) to confirm provenance after the fact.
