Comments on: Desowitz at SIGGRAPH 2009: Day 2 http://events.animationblogspot.com/2009/08/04/desowitz-at-siggraph-2009-day-2/ AWN's Events Blog: Bringing the World of Animation to the Web Sun, 21 Mar 2010 06:17:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU by: Desislava Aleksieva http://events.animationblogspot.com/2009/08/04/desowitz-at-siggraph-2009-day-2/#comment-346 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:22:16 +0000 http://events.animationblogspot.com/2009/08/04/desowitz-at-siggraph-2009-day-2/#comment-346 Reference is made to the GPU-based rendering. Today full presentation of GPU-based V-Ray solution at V-Ray User Event (Aug 6th, 2009, 5:00pm-8:00pm, New Orleans Marriott Hotel at the Convention Center) will reveal how GPU-accelerated raytracing finally becomes practical with V-Ray rendering solutions. All those who registered to attend today's V-Ray User Event will be the first who will see the new upcoming technology from Chaos Group – a GPU-based V-Ray Solution. Following the introduction of the V-Ray RT interactive raytracing technology Chaos Software announces the next step in its development. Massively parallel general-purpose GPUs become more widely available, and with industry-standard APIs now in place to utilize them, the usage of GPUs to accelerate raytracing finally becomes practical. Combined with the existing distributed rendering architecture of V-Ray RT, this solution will offer unparalleled ray-tracing performance far beyond what is available today. Chaos Software performed extensive research into current and emerging technologies for acceleration of raytracing. The already great and ever increasing power of GPUs and the acceptance and implementation of OpenCL as an industry standard were the decisive factors for selecting this platform for future development. The goal of Chaos Software is to deliver on the GPU the same level of photorealistic rendering now available in the V-Ray RT engine with complex material and lighting effects, including physically accurate global illumination, glossy reflections, area lights, layered materials, etc. at speed never imagined before. Reference is made to the GPU-based rendering.
