Support for optix 7.0 #2

Open WeiPhil opened 4 years ago

Hi! I was wondering how hard, it would be to make the bindings work the latest version of optix. I heard many changes habe been made to the optix library from version 6 to 7. Do you have any knowledge about this?

Cheers,

Hi there! Yes the API is very different. I've been working on the optix 7 bindings for a while. I just pushed my latest changes to the optix7 branch. You can find examples in the optix crate mirroring ingo wald's course from siggraph last year. The first 8 should be working correctly.

It's been relatively stable for a while (my own renderer is built against it) but I will be making some large-scale changes to it at some point before too long as I need to completely rework the memory allocation strategy.

This is great to hear! I'm also planning in the long term to add this to my own toy tracer. This looks promising :)

Hi, I made some modifications to the examples for Optix 7.0, and submitted a PR.

I imagine you are very busy, (having just checked out your bio).... maybe I can help to maintain the optix-rs project, and implement support for up to Optix 7.6.
