Arnold 6 delivers performance gains that will help lighten the load with the same high-quality render results that the CPU renderer is known for,” said Chris Vienneau, Senior Director, Media & Entertainment Products, Autodesk.

Speed and interactivity have become more crucial than ever to the creative process. “Rendering workloads continue to grow as content providers strive to meet rising audience expectations for content quality. Supported by a new NVIDIA Studio Driver, released today, rendering in Arnold with NVIDIA RTX GPUs is multiple times faster than high end desktop CPUs.

Today, Autodesk officially released exciting new updates to Arnold and Maya.Īutodesk Arnold, the default renderer for 3D animation software Maya and 3ds Max, now uses RTX-accelerated ray tracing and AI-powered denoising for lightning fast interactivity and massive speed ups in final frame renders.
