ADVANCING THE STATE OF GPU RENDERING

Rendering, backed by the power of GPUs, is undergoing a transformation. Enhance your creative process with fluid 3D visualizations enabling immediate decision making with ease.

Explore designs with your client in the room, see actors rendered in real time as they portray a character, or experiment with prototype materials as you accurately simulate real world lighting conditions. No matter your choice of rendering tool, NVIDIA GPUs will revolutionize your design process. Instantly accelerate your rendering with multi-GPU workstations and NVIDIA® Quadro® GP100. Connect a network of local or remote GPU servers with NVIDIA DGX-1™ or scale to the cloud for the fastest final frame results possible.

GPU RENDERING PARTNERS AND PRODUCTS

The ecosystem of professional ray tracing technology that requires or is accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs is large and growing. Our GPU rendering partners’ software products are used extensively by over half of a million end users from professional product design and building design (AEC), through to commercial and film visual effects industries.

Chaos Group’s V-Ray is a widely used, industry standard rendering software relied on by artists and designers that create stunning imagery and animations for product and architecture design to commercial and film visual effects. V-Ray GPU is a production proven highly physically based renderer developed using NVIDIA CUDA that massively accelerates rendering with NVIDIA GPUs. Learn more >

RENDERING SYSTEMS

NVIDIA Quadro visual computing solutions provide for a wide range of rendering workloads. From Quadro GP100, the fastest single GPU rendering graphics solution available today, to Quadro P6000 with 24GB of memory, Quadro can accelerate the largest, most complex rendering tasks. GPU rendering can scale to increase rendering speed by adding additional GPUs to your workstation, using GPUs across the network, or rendering on GPU clusters in cloud services. For the ultimate in dedicated, network connected rendering performance, an NVIDIA DGX-1 or NVIDIA VCA-certified appliance can provide up to eight ultra-high end Quadro graphics cards to accelerate rendering workloads. No matter what your rendering demands require, Quadro has the solution to maximize rendering performance.

MATERIALS

NVIDIA's vMaterials catalog is a collection of real-world materials described in the NVIDIA Material Definition Language (MDL). They're designed and verified by NVIDIA Material Specialists for accuracy, control, and consistency, giving you a quick and reliable way to add realistic materials to your designs.

The NVIDIA Material Definition Language (MDL) gives you the freedom to share physically based materials and lights between supporting applications. Unlike a shading language that produces programs for a particular renderer, MDL materials define the behavior of light at a high level. Different renderers and tools interpret the light behavior and create the best possible image, whether it's an OpenGL-based application or physically based renderer like Iray or Chaos Group's V-Ray.
