We are pleased to announce the start of the V-Ray RT GPU Beta testing program. It is fully integrated within Autodesk 3ds Max and allows up to 30 times faster rendering and real time interaction with the virtual environment. This highly scalable, production ready rendering solution offers a number of new features like real time shading and lights set-up, distributed and cross platform rendering, progressive path tracing and many others.

 

Take a look at the full description and installation process and other useful information here if you are interested to become a beta tester and experience the new GPU based solution.

 

After the beta testing period, V-Ray RT GPU will become a part of V-Ray 2.0. V-Ray 2.0 for 3ds Max combines V-Ray for 3ds Max production renderer, V-Ray RT on CPU and V-Ray RT on GPU. Its official release date is planned for 6th of December 2010.

Will the beta testing of Vray RT GPU be done in time for the release of Vray 2.0? Also with RT/GPU be one product or will you have to pick between the two?

Also with RT/GPU be one product or will you have to pick between the two?

 

It's one product, you just pick in a drop down menu if you want to use GPU or CPU for rendering. You can actually use both GPU and CPU together using distributed rendering.
