Hello,
I am new at OptiX and had a question. I’ve been using this course as a guide:
This code displays images and textures using ray tracing, but I wanted to incorporate getting depth into it. Does anyone have any recommendations on what approach I should take to calculate a depth map? Thank you in advance!
Hi Welcome!
The OptiX SDK has a sample that renders a depth (+normal) map: optixRaycasting. The OptiX launch collects the depth map, then does a separate CUDA kernel for shading. You could do something similar and pass your depth map to another render launch instead.

Hi David,
Thank you so much for your help! I’ll try that approach.
