Intel OSPRay 3.2 Further Advances This Open-Source Ray-Tracing Engine

Intel's OSPRay ray-tracing engine as part of their oneAPI rendering toolkit continues to serve as a great, scalable and portable RT engine for high fidelity visualizations. With OSPRay 3.2 released today, they continue advancing this open-source engine further.

OSPRay 3.2 boasts new sampling improvements with better performance thanks to a new round of optimizations. There are also various quality improvements, improved denoiser image operation, support for half-precision (16 bit float) texture formats and two channel 32-bit float textures.

OSPRay 3.2 also implements MIP Mapping for better texture filtering, various dependency updates, fixes artifacts sometimes appearing with its GPU rendering, and various other changes.
