The NVIDIA® OptiX™ ray tracing engine is now available to developers for greatly accelerating their ray tracing applications using an approachable C-based API running on the NVIDIA CUDA architecture.
As a programmable ray tracing pipeline, the OptiX engine provides great flexibility in greatly accelerating ray tracing applications – from interactive rendering in styling and design, to faster offline rendering in visual effects, to non-rendering disciplines such as radiation reflectance and acoustics.
