Python wrapper for the OptiX 7 raytracing engine.
Python-OptiX wraps the OptiX C++ API using Cython and provides a simplified interface to the original C-like API using the CuPy package.
Only Linux is officially supported at the moment. Experimental windows support is available.
Python-OptiX currently supports the OptiX releases 7.3.0, 7.4.0 and 7.5.0
Install a recent version of the CUDA Toolkit and the OptiX 7.5.0 SDK
Make sure the CUDA header files are installed as well.
Add the location of CUDA to the system PATH variable if necessary.
Due to restrictions in OptiX's license, it is not allowed to distribute the necessary headers with this package in pypi. In order to enable the installation of this package in a virtual environment without introducing a dependency to the main system, the optix headers will be copied into the created wheel upon installation.
pip install python-optix
git clone https://github.com/mortacious/python-optix.git
