Undeniably exciting. It will be interesting to see what the limitations are that they haven’t mentioned. All the new renderers sound good, until suddenly there’s no supported displacement, or only raytraced shadows, or volumetrics or particles won’t work in it, or you have to have version X Nvidia with CUDA X which isn’t available yet, or accessing a cloud requires a monthly fee (speculatively, I can’t see how it can remain free given today’s economics), and so on. So far I think VRay 2 looks more promising than Iray, mostly because mentalray has a more fussy / antiquated scene preparation and Iray is a growth from it. Hopefully the reality lives up to the exciting talk, but you know, they talked up QuickSilver too.

Prefieron el Vray RT no tiene favoritismos con Nvidia y me parece mas confiable que el Iray. Que siendo parte del mental ray no me extrañaria que lo dejaran a medias y sin innovaciones como han hecho los ultimos años en autodesk.
