The purpose of this functionality is to bring a basic ray-tracing solution to existing OCCT visualization toolkit (TKOpenGL).
Currently ray-tracing visualization core supports sharp shadows, specular reflections, transparency and adaptive anti-aliasing.
However, the basis for all ray-tracing algorithms is versatile, allowing you to add new ray-tracing features easily (such as ambient occlusion).
All ray-tracing computations are performed on the GPU using OpenCL framework, allowing real-time rendering performance.
It is important to note, that real-time ray-tracing is possible using high-performance GPUs with support of OpenCL 1.1 and higher (such as NVIDIA GeForce 660 or ATI/AMD Radeon 7850).
When using low-end GPUs (such as NVIDIA GeForce 640) the ray-tracing performance may slow down significantly.
Therefore, even with NVIDIA GeForce 640 you can render scenes with the millions of triangles. The support of OpenCL-enabled CPUs and integrated graphics cards is not guaranteed.
Fixed graphic structure recompute after closing view.
Removed collector and all corresponding logic and methods from AIS_InteractiveContext.
Method AIS_InteractiveContext::Erase() now hide object from viewer without deleting resources.
Erased objects now properly recomputed after closing view.
Samples update
Removed useless method AIS_InteractiveContext::EraseMode()
Documentation update
Warnings fix
Regressions fix
Project file extension corrected for VS 2010/2012 solutions
Sources and resource files from Common and Interface sub-foldrs added to qmake project files from their original location.
RES_DIR environment variable redirected to the binary directory, all resource files copied there to keep the source tree intact.
RES_DIR environment variable corrected under Linux/MacOS similalry to Windows.
Makefile generation corrected under MacOS:
- filenames used as the output for the extra compilers instead of the absolute paths.
- mkdir and cp command options corrected
Removal of VoxelClient
VoxelDemo sample is redesigned so that it doesn't require compilation of OpenGl classes. It refers to TKOpenGl.dll as to an external library.
Some minor bugs are fixed in OCAF and Viewer 3d standard MFC samples
