<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi Alexis,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That makes sense. The problem was that I made a set of abstract classes that is currently decoupled from the VTK and the Vulkan renderers. The simulation manager used to have an imstkVTKRenderer class, and I removed that and replaced it with the abstract
imstkRenderer class. I could use the CMake variables to change which renderer gets added to the Simulation Manager class.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Nick,<br>
<br>
Indeed we'll have VTK as default, however the switch between VTK and Vulkan can be made at configuration time in CMake with a variable like 'USE_Vulkan` defaulted to OFF. Based on this cmake variable we can then download/compile VTK or Vulkan+dependencies and
define pre-compilation variables to use VTK or Vulkan c++ code.

<div>I described the process a couple weeks ago on your merge request here: <a href="https://gitlab.kitware.com/iMSTK/iMSTK/merge_requests/111/diffs#9a2aa4db38d3115ed60da621e012c0efc0172aae_139_152" target="_blank">https://gitlab.kitware.com/iMSTK/iMSTK/merge_requests/111/diffs#9a2aa4db38d3115ed60da621e012c0efc0172aae_139_152</a></div>
