Project mention: Data visualisation and ray tracing in Python based on OptiX framework | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-05
It might also be worth trying the Radeon ProRender plugin for Blender. It's a different renderer and will require that you learn to work with it, and if you use its quality mode it will likely not be any faster than Cycles, but it may be worth trying.
Project mention: Petition to put WCCFTech and DSOGaming into unapproved tech blogs | /r/AyyMD | 2023-06-24Even their Path Tracer (RTX Remix - like Portal with RTX, or Cyberpunk 2077 RT Overdrive) is licensed under similar terms: https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/Path-Tracing-SDK/blob/main/LICENSE.txt https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/RTXDI/blob/main/LICENSE.txt
Project mention: Just got a new pc that can run RTX on minecraft windows. Here's everything this RTX pack can do. (you can get the pack with the link below every image) | /r/Minecraft | 2023-06-27
Project mention: Deploy multi-platform applications with C++ (desktop, mobile and web). An example with Dear ImGui | /r/cpp | 2023-12-11I wouldn't say that CMake isn't that painful for the deployment stage. I have successfully deployed an open source project on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS.
ProtoTracer for changing the image the LED shows.
And here there is a project of mine base on them (and not only): aromanro/RayTracer: A ray tracing program (github.com)
