Should Optix have its own resoucre variable similar to ogre? #111

Currently the Ogre and Ogre2 plugin leverage a separate environment variable/compiler definition to locate its resources (OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH and OGRE2_RESOURCE_PATH). In the case Optix it is using the IGN_RENDERING_RESOURCE_PATH; should it have its own variable for locating Optix specific resources similar to how it is done in the Ogre and Ogre2 plugin?

yeah that's a good idea. We should still keep the IGN_RENDERING_RESOURCE_PATH there for backward compatibility.

Removing this from Core Development since optix is lower priority now.
