NVidia Releases 3-D Rendering Tool

By the Betanews Staff | Published March 12, 2007, 12:39 PM

After a beta test last year, NVidia on Monday released the final version of Gelato 2.1, the company's GPU-accelerated 3-D rendering software. The tool was originally developed for film and animation, but has been expanded for game development, industrial design, and general CAD use.

Gelato 2.1 features texture baking, enhanced raytracing performance, and improved lighting functionality for 3-D rendering. The software ships for Windows XP and Linux with plug-ins for Autodesk Maya and Autodesk 3ds Max. The basic version of Gelato is available at no cost, while Gelato Pro adds advanced scalability and support features for $1,500 USD.

Hi Gang,

For those of you who are wondering about the system requirements it needs at least a GeForce Fx 5200 which means I can't use it on my museum piece , a GeForce 2 MX.

Cheers,
Christian Blackburn

Hell, I'd probably still be using one of those if mine hadn't died on me.
