VrayRT for CUDA

I want it!

+1 :sunglasses: it looked pretty awesome on the video :grin:

Looks really nice indeed, and the power of today’s GPUs vs CPU is really interesting.

Will you get RT for CUDA when you buy a release of VRay RT or will it be a separate release?

I’m interested to buy VRay RT but would like to know about the CUDA/GPU release to be sure.

Whaaat?! When?! Where?! I am on vacation… Gahhh!

Siggraph?

Yep: http://www.cgarchitect.com/news/SIGGRAPH-2009-CHAOS-GROUP-GPU.shtml

WOW that’s fantastic…

I want it’s babies.

Any possible idea of when this might be available to the huddled masses? Or is that a closely guarded secret?

No firm release dates yet; we will let you know when things get to a useable stage.

Thanks Vlado. Stunning, bleeding edge stuff you guys are doing. Well done.
Very exciting.

You’re running a nVidia 295 correct? How does it run on “lesser” graphics cards? I’d like to get a 295, but I think that would mean getting an entirely new motherboard that supports that.

The demo was actually done on a 285. I don’t think you need a different motherboard for the 295 though.

Is there a reason why you used a GeForce and not a FX card, if we wanted to buy a card what should we be looking for?

Well it was the only one we could get the same day :slight_smile: It is too early to give any hardware recommendations yet.

@Vlado - lol. You guys are always buying hardware whenever you come over to the US…

Is this to be a production renderer or just for previz like RT currently is?

Thanks

James

Hi Vlado,
It’s possible that in the future VRay 2.0 or next release will use a GPU for accelerate the Rendering, like in VRay-RT? :slight_smile:

Well, in future tense, anything is possible :slight_smile:

Best regards,
Vlado

that would be a really nice feature! :stuck_out_tongue:

I am in the same boat as you. Did this get answered. Im sure the CUDA release will be included if you have the VRAY RT regular version??
