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.

Description

Pixar Animation Studios has developed cutting-edge technology for rendering visual effects and animation. Their latest framework, designed specifically for physically-based rendering, offers unparalleled adaptability to fit any production pipeline. RenderMan is not only utilized for Pixar's own feature films but has also gained widespread adoption across the industry for its capabilities in rendering visual effects and animation, highlighting its inherent scalability and versatility. Users can now access ready-to-use production tools directly from Pixar, providing materials and light transport without the need for additional development. This physically based shading system enables RenderMan to create remarkably realistic lighting with minimal configuration, featuring comprehensive support for multi-bounce ray traced global illumination and ray traced subsurface scattering. A significant amount of research and innovation has been dedicated to transforming these typically costly effects into practical solutions for production environments. The materials offered come fully equipped with a plethora of creative options, empowering artists to bring their visions to life. This commitment to accessibility and quality positions RenderMan as a leader in the rendering technology landscape.
