FluidRay RT - real time global illumination renderer

[nicolacandussi]

Hi All,

We are pleased to announce the release of the first beta of FluidRay RT, our new real-time global illumination renderer.

You can check it out at http://www.fluidray.com

It's real-time, but you don't need a fancy GPU with tons of video RAM. It mostly uses the CPU and the system's main RAM.

All comments are welcome!

 

Regards,

 

Nicola

Welcome Nicola it's good to see others jumping into the real time rendering game! Could you compare and contrast FluidRAy RT with Vary RT?

Hi Devin,

Thanks for your interest in FluidRay RT! VRay RT is one of our direct competitors. A comparison made by me here would probably look unfair and biased to our side, so I prefer to wait for the reviews made by the industry experts and users. Right now we are still in the beta phase, looking for feedback from users and beta testers.

At the same time, we believe we represent a strong alternative to what is in the market right now. Many real-time GPU renderers in the market right now require a fancy GPU and suffer from the limited amount of GPU memory. Together with that, making software for the GPU is hard and for this reason GPU renderers are usually limited in features compared to CPU renderers. FluidRay RT on the other side uses the main processor and system RAM as primary resources and doesn't have those limitations. It simply means that you can handle scene and texture sizes that are order of magnitudes bigger the the ones allowed by the GPU.
