Hello,

I'm not sure if I will achieve GPU rendering anytime soon but I've started by getting a new PC with a good RTX2060 graphics card. Of course that PC is for other things not only YafaRay, but I kept in mind YafaRay very much when I decided to get it with that graphics card. I want to start investigating this possibility but cannot make any promises as my free time is limited!

What exactly do we need for implemanting GPU compution? Recoding from scratch? вт, 30 Июн 2020, 21:36 David Bluecame <notifications@github.com>:

I don't know yet but I hope not!

When I was doing tests with Intel Embree I had to recode some big chunks but not all. However a very difficult thing to do is to check how software licenses would work and to decide the overall architecture so all the pieces plug in together nicely (hopefully).

Ahh. Of course, LICENSING are different in different software I guess. Regards, Odilkhan Yakubov. вт, 30 Июн 2020, 21:44 David Bluecame <notifications@github.com>:
