  • NVIDIA - Gelato Pro 2.1

    NVIDIA Gelato Pro 2.1

    The NVIDIA® Gelato® Pro software application is a breakthrough GPU-accelerated, final-frame renderer that produces images of the highest quality. Originally designed for film and TV effects and animation, Gelato is useful for any application that requires high-quality rendering including game development, CAD, industrial design, architecture, etc.

    High-level Gelato functionality includes:

    • Antialiased texture, environment, and shadow mapping
    • Motion blur
    • Raytracing
    • True displacement
    • Automatic adaptive tessellation
    • Ambient occlusion & global illumination
    • Plug-ins for use with Autodesk Maya and Autodesk 3ds Max

    NVIDIA Gelato Pro 2.1 comes in two varieties: a basic version that is free to download and Gelato Pro that is for sale. Both are high-quality renderers with rich feature sets. Gelato Pro, however, includes additional features that enhance its utility in a professional production environment and also comes with support from NVIDIA's High-Quality Rendering team.

    The features that are unique to Gelato Pro are:

    • Sorbetto interactive relighting
    • Network parallel rendering (using a network to render a single image faster than one computer alone)
    • Multithreading
    • Native 64-bit support
    • DSO shadeops
    • Maintenance & support services from NVIDIA
    • Advanced access to new features
