I have built one version of ParaView 6.1.1 with ANARI support yesterday.
(commit eea2fc2dc970dbfac2be500736fdea26c2d9188b)
I test a simple Wedge (Unstructured mesh with 27 points and 16 cells). I get this
with OSPRay pathtracer
and nothing when enabling ANARI with barney backend (OptiX or CUDA)
I have a few questions about this latest ParaView
- Documentation for ParaView 6.1.1 shows a slightly different interface than mine . The presence of the ANARI Library box which I don’t have (only ANARI Renderers and ANARI Renderer Parameters) ?
-
My ANARI Renderers box is greyed out (disabled). I had a previous built (last april) which was
displaying an ANARIRenderers menu with five entries (interactive, fast, quality, …, default which by the way I didn’t find in ParaView nor VTK what these were refering to … variable options linked to selected library I guess ? I didn’t find any reference in the cpp code … maybe in the .json configs ?? ) an was able to render an even more large unstructured mesh. -
I export ANARI_LIBRARY=barney in the environment. I know barney is able to render this unstructured mesh (from usage with another frontend). So I’m wondering if I’m missing something in the use of the GUI … I played a little bit with UnitDistance and AmbientRadiance
but with no results.
I understand this is all pretty recent stuff and bound to evolve quickly.
Thanks.
