Some samples are missing

Hi

So I found a article online about how to bake a model with optix here:
https://developer.nvidia.com/optix-prime-baking-sample
which is using the optix prime. and there shows also the links of the github sample.

However I find that the repo is been archived.

I tried to clone it and roll back to the last working version, then read the readme file, then found that it requires some other repo.

Clone the following nvpro-samples repositories:
//github.com/nvpro-samples/build_all.git
//github.com/nvpro-samples/shared_optix.git
//github.com/nvpro-samples/shared_sources.git
//github.com/nvpro-samples/shared_external.git
//github.com/nvpro-samples/optix_prime_baking.git

So now the optix_prime_baking is archived and i can not find the shared_optix either.

So I am wondering how to make it work or do we have another example for this?

Thx a lot

Hi, it looks like you’re right that the shared_optix repo has been deleted. I’m trying to track down whether anyone has a copy of it. If I find it, I’ll post back here.

The author of the blog post said the baking sample wouldn’t be too hard to re-create manually against the current OptiX SDK, if that’s an option for you.

I do see that someone copied the shared_optix repo in 2014. It probably won’t compile against the optix_prime_baking repo without changes, but maybe it could help fill in some blanks. GitHub - calvinswaim/shared_optix: shared_optix

Sorry about the missing code. I hope that helps!

BTW, I am told that you may not need the shared_optix repo at all if you have the OptiX SDK installed. Apparently that repo just contained a version of OptiX. You probably do need to make some manual build tweaks, of course, but let us know if it seems like you can’t progress.
