https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/Ray-Tracing-Standard-APIs-or-Development-Tools/m-p/898611#M10579 Hello, <BR /><BR />Intel has put so much emphasis in it's ray-tracing strategy, i would like to know if there is a community accepted open standard API similar to OpenGL (OpenRT is proprietary afaik) that can be used to develop next-next-generation game engines. What tools does intel provide to develop ray-tracing programs?<BR /><BR />I hope that Intel respects developers enough to provide an open standard API under the Khronos umbrella, to support ray-tracing. Lets not have yet another standards war, with multiple vendors ending up being gravelly hurt, along with the developers and users. Is such a standard to be expected?<BR /><BR />Thank you.<BR /> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 02:21:34 GMT dannyblue 2008-04-25T02:21:34Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/Ray-Tracing-Standard-APIs-or-Development-Tools/m-p/898611#M10579 Hello, <BR /><BR />Intel has put so much emphasis in it's ray-tracing strategy, i would like to know if there is a community accepted open standard API similar to OpenGL (OpenRT is proprietary afaik) that can be used to develop next-next-generation game engines.
