<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><br></div><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">https://gitlab.kitware.com/iMSTK/iMSTK/merge_requests/111/diffs#9a2aa4db38d3115ed60da621e012c0efc0172aae_139_152</a></div><div><br></div><div><div>Best,</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8000001907349px">Alexis Girault</span><br style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8000001907349px"><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8000001907349px">R&D Engineer in Medical Computing</span><br style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8000001907349px"><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8000001907349px">Kitware, Inc.</span><br style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8000001907349px"><a href="http://www.kitware.com/" rel="noreferrer" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-size:12.8000001907349px" target="_blank">http://www.kitware.com</a><br style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8000001907349px"><font color="#999999"><a href="tel:(919)+969-6990+x325" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">(919) 969-6990 x3</span>25</a></font><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
