NVIDIA Advanced Rendering Products for End Users GTC Session: S6842

April 4-7, 2016 | Silicon Valley NVIDIA Advanced Rendering Products for End Users GTC Session: S6842

Phillip Miller & Jay Axe NVIDIA Advanced Rendering April 5, 2016 NVIDIA Iray® Used Across the Industry for +6 Years

The renderer of choice by major software companies for their industry leading products

. Used in flagship products like Dassault Systems Catia, SolidWorks and Siemens NX . Also in mainstream products like Substance Designer & Painter and DAZ Studio . Used in custom applications within major corporations for critical decision making (Honda, Lockheed Martin, Old Castle, etc.) 2

NVIDIA Iray Shipping Integrally within Commercial Products

SOLIDWORKS PLM migenius

Visualize NX 11 SketchUp Substance Designer & Painter 3 NVIDIA Iray® Accurate Rendering Made Easy

. Physically-Based Simplicity: works like the real-world, so you work like a photographer . Highly Interactive: see results as you adjust cameras, DOF, materials, lights, geometry . Interactive = Final: you’re always working within the final renderer and not a preview . Tightly Integrated: working the way you’d expect within the hosting application . Highly Scalable: in the machine or across the network so you can always go faster

53 54 Iray – Evolving Quickly Plug-Ins are Ideal for Keeping Pace

Plug-ins will continue to evolve at their own pace, including the latest Iray functionality along the way, and supporting multiple host versions

All future updates are included in the annual license– you just need to be current.

Iray Coming to VR

VR Cameras & Stereo Coming to all the NVIDIA Plug-ins this Summer Iray Server For Windows and Linux . A fast, easy and reliable way to harness a network for Iray rendering

. Every machine in a cluster contributes to the same image, making short work of complex renderers

. If it renders locally it will render on the network – no worries about naming, paths, dependencies, etc.

57 Iray Server Queuing and Streaming modes . Central, web-based Queue Manager . Cluster setup is fast, no networking expertise req’d . Modify & resubmit jobs without going back to host . Prioritize, reorder, and observe jobs in progress . Very fault tolerant – machines can join/leave without stopping the active job

One or more networked machines Single Machine of Queuing using any GPU/CPU combination Streaming Quadro/Tesla GPUs Interactive image stream

Job is quickly processed H264, JPG, PNG, or EXR

Only new data is sent Scene is synchronized

Small incremental updates 58 All work together on the same image Iray Server Queuing and Streaming modes . A machine started alone (and having Pro GPUs) can be used for Queuing or Streaming. . Streaming is seamless to the client app – your interactive rendering is just done elsewhere . The client and server can be of differing OS’s, so a Mac client can stream from a Linux or Windows rig

Increasing GPU usage with each Autodesk𝝅𝝅 release: . GPU Ambient Occlusion in 3 +100X speedup . MDL in 3.13 in Maya 2016 . GI-Next in 3.14 5-10X speedup in 3ds Max 2017 Beta on Maya 2016 GI-Next: . Uses CPU to feed GPU; only geometry is in GPU memory . Supports legacy C shaders and all effects (MBlur, DOF, etc.) . GPU & CPU-only yield same visual result . Good performance gain with GPUs (4-5X w/ 1 M6000) . Easy adoption: just set existing scenes to use GI-Next . And, it’s FAR easier to use!
