This repository contains some additional samples for the OWL "OptiX Wrappers Library" project (hosted on https://github.com/NVIDIA/owl).

The samples inside this repository initially started out as part of OWL itself, but building them requires additional tools like GLFW, the owlViewer interactive viewer tool, etc, to be able to open windows and let the user interact with the respective sample. In order to make OWL lose all these dependencies and all this extra "weight"--and to streamline it into just the base OWL library itself--I decided to strip those off an move those to a separate repository.

This repo is freely available under Apache 2 License - do with it as you like.

In the process of splitting these samples off the original OWL project all of github's contributor tracking got lost, so just to make sure this doesn't get lost: There's a whole bunch of people that have helped with building OWL and these samples - amongst them, in the hope that I'm not forgetting too many of them - some of the most important contributors were:

• Nate Morrical, University of Utah, then NVIDIA
• Dylan Lacewell, NVIDIA
• Will Usher, University of Utah, now Luminary Cloud
• Stefan Zellmann, University of Cologne
• Jeff Amstutz, NVIDIA
