GPU accelerated rendering of VRay part 1 - 20x speedup!

This demonstration by Vladimir "Vlado" Koylazov shows the potential gains from a GPU accelerated advanced raytrace/GI renderer. This demo uses a $300 nVidia gamer card. Using the new open source OpenCL software, certain calls from the software can be accelerated by having the GPU on the video card do the calculation. In this example a medium quality computer renders 20x faster via GPU. The CPU is mostly sending and receiving and is operating at less than 100%. Part 1 shows interaction with a cornell box, and then a sportscar with HDR illumination.

[Usulgurt]

Good potential of future

[wok2005]

DAMM GOOD!

[Alice70137]

this aint rendering, this is preview ! show us how fast is vray rt while rendering

[thedevo01]

This would work with an equivalent AMD (ATi) card too, wouldn't it?

Because of the OpenCL.....

[monimoni0147]

c'mooooooon release it

if you don octane will dominate lol

[Nastypsychoboy]

Anyone know how they got the environment hdri in there? Vray Dome light or in the environment map? Ta

[octavianmihailescu]

@Sh1r01N3k0 octane works as a standalone separate application, good luck using that for film production ;)

[specialfxmaker]

what if your laptop is 300 dollars and not your grapics card how fast would that be?

[Sh1r01N3k0]

i don't know what you guys think.... but octane renderer looks way faster then that

[Sh1r01N3k0]

@TheBonefree ah... ic what you mean with a "whole environment" thats a HDR image used for realistic light... its not a modeled scene...

[Sh1r01N3k0]

@TheBonefree not really a game engine... its just a rendering software that "can" navigate, its called real time rendering... you use the GPU CUDA feature to render it much faster and it goes better over time... its like moving the camera of your 3D software inside the rendering software with no need to "restart" the external renderer.if you have a CUDA enabled card you can download the trial version of octane and your answers will be poping from the screen
