You can see the advantage of the RTX cards compared to the older Pascal models very clearly, because the slowest Turing RTX is still almost twice as fast as the older Pascal flagship. But I don’t think anyone will ever think of rendering the finished film on a notebook.

The performance of the AI denoiser in the editing phase is strikingly high, but it is recommended to use the Arnold denoiser in the final rendering to avoid sporadic flickering. The OptiX denoiser is integrated in Arnold for use with IPR and Look Dev and can be applied to any AOV. Arnold has also been the primary renderer on dozens of movies, from Monster House and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs to Pacific Rim and Gravity, and is available as a stand-alone renderer for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X and as a plug-in for Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini, Cinema 4D and Katana.īy combining fast RTX-accelerated rendering with OptiX and GPU-accelerated AI denoising (denoising filter), fast iteration through changes in materials, lighting, camera position and environment is also possible and the effects are visible with lightning fast updates. Arnold is used in over 300 studios worldwide, including ILM, Framestore, MPC, The Mill and Digic Pictures and others.

Productivity boost: override sets, holdout mattes, shadow catcher, passes, UDIM style textures, and arbitrary primvar data.Defer the creation of geometry at render time with the Stand-in placeholder nodes.Particles and nParticles support, including particle instancer.Support for volume rendering with Maya Fluids.Interactive rendering (IPR) allows parameter changes to be rapidly previewed without interrupting your work.Image Based Lighting support, including a state of the art physical sky.
