Autodesk Arnold is a modern ray tracer designed to efficiently render the complex geometry in CGI animation and VFX films.

- The wait is over. Arnold 5.3 offers artists a first taste of #ArnoldGPU with a public beta version, giving you the flexibility to switch seamlessly between CPU or GPU rendering, for a set number of features. Arnold 5.3 will be available for download on March 20, 2019.
00:00 - We've been busy with a lot of new @arnoldrenderer tech, including some fun updates to Standard Surface. If you like rendering fabric, you'll like what's coming... (these are all renders from the master @LeeGriggs :) )
- Arnold CPU vs our early GPU prototype. HDRI, standard shader w/ GGX BSDF. If you can't tell which is which, that's good.
- Introducing Arnold 6! This release brings speed and power to your workflows, allowing you to iterate faster and scale rendering capacity to accommodate the ebbs and flows of production. Learn more: autode.sk/arnold-6

- We love cores! :)Ok, this Threadripper + @arnoldrenderer is pretty insane. Feels as fast as a GPU renderer. #CPUnotdead
GIF - We've been working on a new SSS engine for Arnold 5. Works great in thin areas and wrinkles where diffusion loses too much energy.
