It is therefore easier to light a scene for unbiased rendering than for one that will be rendered with a biased engine, which often require the placement of more lights and wizardry to produce plausible or aesthetically pleasing results. Unbiased rendering algorithms simulate the way light interacts with geometry and materials in such a way that the results are physically plausible, sometimes to the point where observers are unable to determine the difference between a photograph and a 3D rendering. Most examples of programs that utilise OpenCL tend to be much faster on AMD cards. OpenCL is supported by both AMD and Nvidia, but AMD have adopted it to a greater extent. Iray is CUDA reliant for GPU modes of rendering, but those with cards without CUDA cores can still make use of Iray’s CPU modes. Those with AMD cards (myself included) miss out on all the accelerated goodness, but luckily, we can still make use of Iray as it also includes CPU options.ĬUDA is strictly a technology accessible to only those with Nvidia cards those with more CUDA cores) will have the most to gain from the new engine. As some already know, and others will guess, Iray is a CUDA based engine, so those with newer and beefier Nvidia cards (ie. There is still a good deal of confusion in the community about CUDA, OpenCL, unbiased rendering, and GPU based rendering.
Basics of using Iray – surfaces and renderingĬUDA, OpenCL, Unbiased, GPU – What Does It All Mean?.The usual explanations – CUDA, OCL, Unbiased etc (for dinosaurs and noobs).
I’ve contacted D3D for comment and will post any details that come to light, but any way you slice it, unbiased GPU at this level is a very cool tool to have tightly integrated into DS, especially when sitting alongside 3Delight, DS’s long-time primary render engine. The exact details of the deal aren’t clear. Not familiar with Iray? Just type “Iray” into Google and prepare to have your jaw dropped. Now with DAZ Studio 4.8x (aka Project Iradium – a clever little play on words), DAZ 3D has gone big and, thanks to a recent deal signed with Nvidia, brought production grade unbiased GPU rendering to the masses. Octane and it’s tightly integrated plugin for DAZ Studio has been embraced by both, professionals, and enthusiasts with more cheddar to throw at their hobby. The go to for many users up till now has been LuxRender via the Reality and Luxus series of plugins. *See this article for graphics card suggestions.ĭAZ Studio users have been enjoying unbiased, physically based rendering (PBR) via GPU for a good while now.
