Now it's the de facto +standard shading language for VFX and animated features, used across +the industry in many commercial and studio- proprietary renderers. + +Cuda and OptIx are optional dependencies but they are not tested. + +OSL is an optional dependency for Blender. + +Warning for Slackware current users: since the current's LLVM is +updated to version 17, this version of OSL cannot be built on Slackware +current because versions of LLVM greater than 15 are out of range. |
