IRAY

Use industry-standard applications with a faster workflow. . Iray is a photorealistic rendering solution licensed to leading software manufacturers like Dassault Systèmes and Autodesk and integrated within tools like Catia and 3ds Max. The NVIDIA VCA integrates hardware and software to supercharge your rendering workflow. Use your favorite rendering application, connect to your VCA, and enjoy the fastest photorealistic rendering experience possible. You can also combine multiple Quadro VCAs to improve the interactive quality to the extent that it is like walking around a physical model, catching every hint of light and reflection as you manipulate the model or scene. This is made possible with an Iray rendering mode exclusive to Quadro VCA that keeps the entire visual computing cluster contributing equally as modifications are made.

Iray is available as the rendering engine in many popular 3D content creation applications. Together with our software integration partners, we enable state-of-the-art workflows that give their customers access to photorealistic and physically based rendering using Iray.

HOW IRAY WORKS

Every Iray plugin and native integration can send rendering work directly to the Quadro VCA instead of using the local system resources. Within the Iray settings interface, you must specify the IP address of your visual computing cluster. When connected, texture and geometry data is transferred and cached onto the cluster. The visual computing cluster is responsible for dividing the render work among all the VCAs in the cluster and collecting the results. The final rendered image is interactively streamed to the application in either 16-bit lossless, JPEG, or H.264.
