Some key features of Iray for Maya

Iray is a computer graphics rendering software that is commonly used for creating high-quality images and animations. It is designed to take advantage of modern GPUs, allowing for fast and efficient rendering of complex scenes. Maya is a popular 3D modeling and animation software widely used in the entertainment industry. Iray is a popular rendering plugin for Maya, allowing users to take advantage of its advanced rendering capabilities within the Maya workflow. In this blog, iRender will discuss some key features of Iray for Maya.

NVIDIA Iray is the first GPU-accelerated solution for physics-based, photo-realistic rendering worldwide. Combined with the parallel processing power of the latest NVIDIA video processors, Iray achieves interactivity with extremely fast reactions and significantly accelerates the iterations required to create perfect scenes. Iray provides materials and lighting that are physically based. It is a high-performance rendering approach for global illumination that creates visuals by modeling the actual behavior of light’s interaction with volumes and surfaces. Pictures are gradually sharpened to offer complete worldwide lighting. 

Autodesk Maya is professional 3D software for creating realistic characters and blockbuster-worthy effects. Maya includes features for modeling, animation, simulation, and rendering, as well as tools for working with advanced 3D graphics. 

Easy of use

We designed Iray for Maya to be user-friendly so you don’t have to waste time learning complicated commands and doing repetitive tasks. This is an easy-to-use rendering solution that produces excellent results in a matter of minutes, regardless of your experience with Maya or familiarity with 3D modeling and animation. Iray for Maya provides you with high-quality output in a user-friendly interface, with customizable materials, support for Maya’s textures and utility nodes, real-world lighting features, and scalable GPU processes.

Physically-Based Materials

Because Iray for Maya features physically-based materials, whatever material you select for your creations will seem as it would in the actual world. You will also be able to duplicate any surface’s behavior as follows:

• Reflections
• Refractions
• Texture
• Surface emission
• Absorption properties.

No matter how complex your project is, using physically-based materials will ensure that your render looks stunning and realistic without sacrificing material quality.

Image-based lighting

With Image-Based Lighting (IBL) in Iray for Maya, you can effortlessly create the perfect lighting setting for any picture or animation. With IBL, you may use HDRI environments to control the lighting in your scene by just pressing a button that modifies the exposure and lighting angles.

The light burst function in Iray for Maya helps you create a more realistic image when you are using an HDRI with a limited dynamic range, particularly when the sun is covered.

Light path expressions

Light path expressions (LPE) in Iray for Maya make it simple to adjust the artistic style or the amount of light in your render. The purpose of light path expressions is to produce the desired style or highlight particular parts of the scene or design in post-production. They are separately generated in parallel with your main render. 

AI Denoiser

Iray for Maya’s AI-enabled denoiser can help you render images more quickly. With this special Iray function, you may achieve interactive photo-realistic rendering and faster render times and final frames without increasing the processing power of your GPU. You will experience a smoother rendering with this innovative technique of denoising, which enables you to modify and refine your design as needed.

iRender is a suitable and effective service for Iray GPU rendering. We provide high-performance servers for GPU-based engine rendering through the Remote Desktop application. In particular, we have dedicated servers for software that primarily focuses on multiple GPUs compatibility and performance such as Nvidia Iray.

We are releasing new servers for iRender’s users, which have powerful processing capabilities of AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3955WX @ 3.90GHz- 4.2GHz and AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO 5975WX @ 3.6 – 4.5GHz.
