Iray Render Plug-In for iClone and Character Creator 1.01

The Iray Render plug-in enables the creation of advanced workflows with access to photo-realistic and physically based 3D rendering technology by simulating real-world physical behaviors of light and materials. The implementation of Iray in Character Creator and iClone comes with an easy-to-apply material set that does not require users to have in-depth knowledge of CGI techniques, thanks to an automatic material conversion process and lighting as well as a large library of documents.

High performance and realistic visuals:

• Iray with AI is bringing deep learning to both the final frame and interactive photorealistic rendering. This unique capability of Iray can accelerate the fine rendering process in ways never seen before.
• Use realistic ray tracing with lighting based on real-world physics and materials.
• Use your GPU to increase rendering speed and multiple GPUs to increase available video memory and increase rendering performance.

Additional features:

Smart display view

• Use the Preview Area tool to refresh only part of the Preview Render image.
• Includes tools such as Zoom, Quick Scaling, and Auto Fit to Window.
• Pause and resume rendering to concentrate system resources when needed.
• Copy and paste the displayed image to another application
• Direct access to output tags.
• Set background transparency and include alpha channel in supported image formats.
• Adjustable sampling time and ability to adjust the number of render iterations at any time.
• Turn on auto-refresh for interactive rendering, or turn it off for improved performance.

CPU and multi-GPU resource management

• Memory status indicator
• Hardware assignment.
• Nvidia's AI-accelerated denoiser to produce flawless images at record speeds.
• Iray supports any number or combination of GPUs and CPUs running in the same machine and gives you granular control over allocation. This makes multi-GPU systems the preferred choice for Iray applications.
