Metal support
Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2020 4:03 pm
Just already spoke with Dade about bringing support to Metal for LuxCore. An anticipated enhancment for all Mac users which should give significant improvement in speed right now and even better results in near future as Apple declared to work more on hybrid usage of CPU and GPU on their devices.
This thread is to try making the first version of Metal implementation to Lux. We need people who just want to help bringing this implementation to life. Simply - if you have a Mac computer and you like coding and testing or you don't have a Mac but you can give some advice - you can try contributing into this development. I'd like to warmly welcome everybody who just want to try : - )
Dade - the first step is done. What's next?
