It seems that the official FireRays <https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/FireRays_SDK> repo currently can't be build on my system (Ubuntu 14.04), though there is already an issue about this.
If there is only a C++ API, what kind of trouble does that mean for trying to wrap it with julia? Is it impossible? Very hacky? Need to look into llvm? Bad performance? Also what about your GeometryTypes <https://github.com/JuliaGeometry/GeometryTypes.jl> package? I saw there a type 'Particle', are there any plans to support ray tracing in that package or on top of it?
