Description
AIR represents a cutting-edge 3D graphics rendering solution, characterized by its innovative architecture and a comprehensive suite of features aimed at swiftly generating high-quality visuals. As a hybrid renderer, AIR blends the rapid rendering capabilities of scanline techniques—efficiently handling complex scenes, motion blur, and depth of field—with the adaptive precision of on-demand ray tracing, allowing for realistic reflections, soft shadows, global illumination, and caustics. This advanced renderer accommodates a wide variety of geometric shapes, such as polygon meshes, trimmed NURBs, subdivision surfaces, curves, particles, and implicit surfaces, all supported in their original form—eliminating the need for pre-meshing. Additionally, AIR facilitates true sub-pixel displacement and supports both high-dynamic range (HDR) input and output. A hallmark of AIR is its highly customizable shading and procedural modeling capabilities, enabling users to enhance the shading language by implementing new functions through any programming language of their choice. This adaptability empowers artists to push the boundaries of their creativity and achieve unprecedented levels of detail and realism in their projects.
Description
NVIDIA® Iray® is a user-friendly rendering technology based on physical principles that produces ultra-realistic images suitable for both interactive and batch rendering processes. By utilizing advanced features such as AI denoising, CUDA®, NVIDIA OptiX™, and Material Definition Language (MDL), Iray achieves outstanding performance and exceptional visual quality—significantly faster—when used with the cutting-edge NVIDIA RTX™ hardware. The most recent update to Iray includes RTX support, which incorporates dedicated ray-tracing hardware (RT Cores) and a sophisticated acceleration structure to facilitate real-time ray tracing in various graphics applications. In the 2019 version of the Iray SDK, all rendering modes have been optimized to take advantage of NVIDIA RTX technology. This integration, combined with AI denoising capabilities, allows creators to achieve photorealistic renders in mere seconds rather than taking several minutes. Moreover, leveraging Tensor Cores found in the latest NVIDIA hardware harnesses the benefits of deep learning for both final-frame and interactive photorealistic outputs, enhancing the overall rendering experience. As rendering technology advances, Iray continues to set new standards in the industry.
