Path tracer — rtxpt backend
Photon RTXPT
Real-time path tracing inside TouchDesigner.
Photon RTXPT brings NVIDIA's rtxpt path tracer into TouchDesigner as a native C++/CUDA operator family — a renderer TOP with companion Light and Material operators, driven entirely from the network.
Capabilities
Native operator
A compiled C++/CUDA plugin, not a Python wrapper — the renderer runs in-process and frames land as TOPs.
Light + Material operators
Lights and materials are first-class operators, so scene setup stays procedural and network-driven.
RTX-accelerated
Hardware ray tracing with DLSS-class reconstruction on RTX-series GPUs.
