NVIDIA® IRAY® is a highly interactive and intuitive
physically based rendering technology that generates
photorealistic imagery by simulating the physical
behavior of light and materials.
Its highly predictive approach, combined with its
scalability, delivers world-class performance on NVIDIA
GPUs for constant feedback and rapid results. This
slashes the time needed to perfect scenes and delivers
images rivaling photographs. Iray is primarily for
product, building and lighting designers, and digital
photographers who work with 3D content, requiring
predictable photorealistic imagery.
For many years, @Xi Computers has been building,
designing and configuring the mostly optimized
workstation for use with NVIDIA Iray, with the goal of
delivering the absolute best performance and
reliability, fitting the client’s budget and greatly
surpassing his expectations. |

Iray® is built to efficiently distribute
rendering loads across any number of processors. It supports
any number or combination of GPUs and CPUs running within
the same machine, and gives you control over which are being
used for rendering. Load balancing between GPUs of different
sizes, types, and generations is automatic–often doubling
offline rendering performance when doubling the number of
equivalent processors. This makes multi-GPU systems the
preferred choice among Iray artists. |

What is NVIDIA Iray?
NVIDIA® Iray® is a highly interactive and intuitive
physically based rendering technology that generates
photorealistic imagery by simulating the physical behavior
of light and materials. Unlike traditional production
renderers, Iray delivers results reflecting real-world
behaviors. Designers don't need expert knowledge of computer
graphics techniques to quickly achieve photorealistic
results.
Iray progressively refines its image until completion,
providing consistent results from interactive editing to
final frame. It's a highly predictive approach that marries
with the scalable, world-class performance across NVIDIA
GPUs to give constant feedback and rapid results. This
slashes the time needed to perfect scenes and deliver images
rivaling photographs.
Who is Iray for?
Iray is primarily for designers and visual effects artists
working with 3D content who require predictable
photorealistic imagery. It delivers immediate visual
feedback that results in stunning imagery for everything
from architecture, engineering, and design to marketing and
advertising visual effects.

Photorealistic and Physically Based
Rendering Within the Applications that You Use Today
Iray is available as the rendering engine in
many popular 3D content-creation applications. With Iray,
these rendering programs will give you access to
photrealistic and physically-based rendering. |

Iray® for 3ds Max is a plugin renderer developed by
Lightworks that creates physically accurate
renderings by tracing light paths. It unleashes the
full power of Iray's interactivity and scalability
with an easy-to-use, intuitive workflow that
maximizes productivity by providing immediate visual
feedback during scene development..
|
NVIDIA® Iray® for Cinema 4D is a
plug-in for MAXON's Cinema 4D that delivers exceptional
physically based rendering. The entire look-development
process becomes extremely interactive and intuitive
using the novel live rendering feature, which provides
immediate visual feedback while lighting and designing
the scene. |
NVIDIA® Iray® for Maya is a plug-in for
Autodesk Maya® that delivers exceptional physically
based Iray rendering. Scene lighting and design are
extremely interactive and intuitive throughout the
entire look-development process using native Maya
controls..
|
NVIDIA® Iray® for Rhino is a plugin
rendering solution for designers using McNeel
Rhinoceros® to quickly produce physically based,
photorealistic visualizations. Iray is integrated
into Rhino, rendering directly within its viewports
to give you continual, realistic feedback as you
craft your model's form, materials, and lighting.
|
Iray Server is a software solution
that provides distributed Iray rendering across
networked machines. It uses a common installation and
license to deliver traditional offline batch rendering
and interactive rendering to all NVIDIA Iray plug-in
products, without the need to install any other
application. When run on an Iray Certified multi-GPU
configuration Iray Server can process poster-size images
in a fraction of the time of a single machine. A central
management console also gives flexible control over
submitted jobs with the ability to adjust and rerun past
jobs. |

Additional GPU Accelerated Renderers |
|
The massively
parallel-processing power of NVIDIA Quadro GPUs used by
Iray can also accelerate these other renderers. Iray
Certified Rendering systems are excellent, reliable and
high-performance solutions for production facilities
experimenting with or deploying GPU accelerated
rendering pipelines. Below is a list of some of the many
companies now leveraging the massively parallel-
processing power of NVIDIA GPUs to greatly accelerate
their solution and define new interactive possibilities: |
