Hi, I’m trying to use Ospray rendering with ParaView and I have a problem with the available version of Ospray and the required version by ParaView.  
I managed to build ospray and their libraries in Linux (Kubuntu 20.04) without problems, although the instructions given in the intel pages are for the latest available version, i.e. ospray-2.1.1.  
When I tried to link Ospray library to ParaView-5.8.0 I got a message saying that the required version is 0.8. Is it possible to use ospray-2.1.1 with paraview?  
I would appreciate any help you can gave me.  
Regards  
Pablo

Development is underway to get ParaView working with OSPray 2+. For 5.8, you have to use an older version of OSPray.

I’m quite sure ParaView/VTK are compatible with OSPray 1.8, not 0.8.

Hi Mathieu, You are right. I confused Ospray 1.8 needed by ParaView with OpenImageDenoise 0.8 needed by Ospray 1.8.
