A CPU fallback path for OptiX is one of our most requested features; we're working on it =)

(GeForce support is coming very soon as well)

the manta-project requires the same specification of build and source
directories as your implementation.  There is no make install style
installation that would install to /usr/include/manta and /usr/lib or
anything of that sort that I know of. This could easily be done if you
decide on a default installation location however it's just a matter of
copying the src folders and build/include folders to a default include
directory and then the build/lib over to a default lib directory.

as for Optix, this probably isn't much of an option if you're looking at
using ray tracing to begin with because it's running on cpu based
compute clusters without gpus which I think Dave is looking at.
Perhaps that will change if they switch to OpenCL.

I'll take an out of date version for now.

I am specifically looking to improve upon what is in vtkManta's cmakelist.txt.
There the user has to manually specify both the Manta source and build
directories. My first thought was to add a @DEFINE@ to
vtkMantaConfigure.h.in which tells where the source is (as for vtk),
which would make it so the user only has to specify the build tree,
but y'all might already do soemthing better.

Two more questions while I have people's attention:
1) Is there doxygen for the Manta class hierarchy?
2) Has/does anyone use Manta on windows? We are pursuing changes to
allow that, but if y'all have it working somehow we don't want to
duplicate effort.

Yeah, we had some svn server changes that ended up mucking with permissions.
Abe would need to make that directory public or Abe could copy that into the
Manta repository. I have a copy of Manta-project on my machine that I can
pass to you, but it might be an older version than what Abe has.

says that there is a sample external project, which includes a
FindManta.cmake, here:

svn co https://code.sci.utah.edu/svn/people/abe/code/Manta-project/
Manta-project

but I can't svn checkout that...

How do I get it?

(hmm, maybe someone could point me to a FindFindManta.cmake.cmake ...)
