Iray is a biased GPU renderer software by NVidia. Developed for NVidia’s CUDA technology, Iray is geared at anyone who doesn’t have expert knowledge in rendering. Therefore, this 3D rendering software is suitable for designers who need real-time results in photorealistic quality at a reasonable price. The relevant fields include architecture, engineering, art, and advertising.

Although developed for real-time usage scenarios, this 3D rendering software brings many of the features you would expect from a CPU solution. Like instancing, caustics, subsurface scattering, or volumetrics. To achieve its high-performance photorealism, Iray employs physically-based materials that correctly simulate their reflection properties, light emission of surfaces, and scattering and absorption properties of volumes. Light sources can be isolated in rendering to gain full control of the final composition.

Its ease of use makes Iray the perfect 3D rendering software choice for achieving convincing results in no time.
