Adds support for optix (nVidia ray-tracing on RTX cards) as an alternative to CUDA for media-gfx/blender-2.83.4.ebuild. The attached ebuild patch will allow the user to utilize this functionality on blender. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 659452 [details, diff] Patch to add optix support to media-gfx/blender-2.83.4
I would love to add this to blender, but we will need to get optix accepted into the tree first. I am not able to maintain optix myself as it requires Volta or later cards and I am still using Pascal architecture.
