GPU renderingGPU rendering is nothing new; we’ve been writing about it in this magazine for ten years now. But 2019 could be the year that it really comes of age. While most of the renderers built into CAD applications still rely on the CPU, there are a growing number of impressive GPU renderers. These include SolidWorks Visualize, V-Ray NEXT GPU, Siemens Lightworks, Lumiscaphe, Catia Live Rendering or any renderer that uses Nvidia Iray. Even Luxion KeyShot, a die hard CPU renderer and one that is particuarly popular with product designers, was recently demonstrated running on Nvidia GPUs.
