+CUDA Path Tracer - Building Instructions
+======================
+
+Please have a look at pathtrace.cu and intersections.h for flags.
+
+Certain flags enable features. I initially had some stack overflow issues so I decided to stop certain features while I was debugging or implementing them. So, those flags are still active.
+
+For the android scene, you might need to enable Plastic Material using the flags.
+
+If you face similar issues related to overuse of registers, I would recommend either you downgrade the number of threads per block or disable some unused branches.
+
+The final renders are in final_images. There are a ton of scenes available, the names should mostly help you figure out what scenes you need to render.
+
+I had issues with compiling on my Laptop but Desktop ran fine! Not sure what is the issue.
+
+
+#### KDTree
+
+If you look through my code, you might see a KD Tree. Apparently it work in Debug mode, but doesn't run in Release mode :(
+
+I decided to let that feature go, but I guess you can always try it out in Debug mode if you want to. It was hard to debug and I wasted a full day on it. So, I decided to implement other features instead!
