Hi @scotsman60 – happy to help out here the best I can. Myself and others on my team at NVIDIA are regular contributors to the ANARI integration, so maybe we can have a look. I’m going to try and join the [VTK hackathon](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/vtk-hackathon-on-may-13-2026/16407) on the 13th (morning). Maybe we could chat there about this? If not we can stick to this thread.

I know ANARI way better than VTK, so as long as someone else can speak to the VTK side of things we should be able to make something happen.
