For my Upenn Course CIS660, Advanced Topics in Computer Graphics, I've integrated the NVIDIA's new parallel optical technology: OptiX, a parallel ray tracing solution on GPU, with the widely used 3D modeling/rendering software: Autodesk MAYA.
Now we are moving on with this project, and try to save artists' render time by making a professional-easy-to-install renderer which uses NVIDIA GPU to accelerate the progress, at the same time to achieve photo realism with new OptiX tracing techniques.
