Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

WILDCAT VP870 VP800 VPU 128MB DDR VGA DVI-I
$887

Wildcat VP uses 3Dlabs' groundbreaking Visual Processing Architecture to integrate over 200 32-bit processors into a single Visual Processing Unit (VPU) for a staggering 200Gflops and 1.2 TeraOps of programmable power. Wildcat VP's power and flexibility provide industrial-strength 2D and 3D performance, quality and functionality for OpenGL and Direct3D applications. Genuine programmability throughout the entire Wildcat VP pipeline provides a superset of traditional graphics processor functionality and is a step towards interactive Renderman-class rendering. Wildcat VP supports the emerging OpenGL 2.0 and D3DX high-level shading languages that extend the boundaries of interactive visual realism. Wildcat VP's innovative fast task-switching capability provides the power of multiple dedicated graphics engines. Designers can move seamlessly among numerous graphics windows for a highly productive workflow, using multiple virtual VPUs. The highly innovative 16GB virtual memory of Wildcat VP shatters the limitation of on-board memory by automatically handling huge datasets, while caching essential data for fastest access. The industry's first genuine 256-bit DDR memory interface delivers incredible bandwidth to keep the most demanding applications running smoothly. Wildcat VP drives two independent, high-resolution displays with a mix of analog and digital display options. Dual 10-bit DACs provide flawless color representation by eliminating distracting display artifacts. 3Dlabs is the only PC graphics company solely focused on designing professional-grade accelerators. Wildcat VP continues this tradition through relentless driver reliability testing and constant optimization and certification of leading professional applications.


WILDCAT II 5110 128MB AGP PRO50 SUPPORTS DVI-I & ANALOG
$1071

The revolutionary Wildcat 3D Graphics Technology enters its second generation with the Wildcat II 5110 - featuring a full dual-pipeline architecture and new chipset for more affordability and even faster performance. The combination of the Wildcat II 5110's dual-pipeline-powered architecture, increased Wildcat chipset speed, and highly tuned geometry engine offers the highest graphics performance for the price. If you're a scientist, artist, engineer, or graphics expert working in the 3D realm, these features and more translate to the highest level of real-time on-screen performance available at a price that won't hurt your budget.


WILDCAT VP970 VP 900 VPU 128MB DDR VGA DVI-I
$1844

Wildcat VP delivers workstation-level graphics capabilities that leapfrog those of other products in its class by combining best-of-class support for traditional professional applications with ground-breaking programmability. Wildcat VP sets the standard for traditional mid-range workstation graphics by providing the flexibility to rapidly deliver the latest OpenGL and Direct3D API functionality, programmable anti-aliasing and texture filters, dual 10-bit DACs for flawless color representation and twice the memory bus width, twice the number of simultaneous textures, twice the number of vertex processors and twice the multisampling capability compared to its nearest competitor. Wildcat VP also adapts many proven CPU architectural techniques to deliver outstanding system performance and flexibility. Wildcat VP's innovative fast task-switching capability provides the power of multiple dedicated graphics engines; designers can move seamlessly among numerous graphics windows for a highly productive workflow, using multiple virtual VPUs. The highly innovative 16-GB virtual memory subsystem of Wildcat VP shatters the limitation of on-board memory by automatically handling huge datasets, while caching essential data for fastest access. The Wildcat VPUs are the industry's first graphics processors that are programmable from high-order surfaces through to anti-aliased framebuffer pixels - with highly efficient SIMD scalar processor arrays replacing hardwired logic and inflexible register-combiners at critical sections in a highly optimized graphics pipeline. This programmability enables acceleration of non-traditional algorithms such as wavelet-based decompression, ray-tracing engines and RenderMan-like photo-realistic renderers.


WILDCAT III 6110 208MB DDR AGP 2 DVI-IOUTPUT DUALHEAD MINI-DIN
$2767

You don't sacrifice quality for speed with 3Dlabs Wildcat III 6110. It's the latest Wildcat graphics accelerator to offer record-setting performance without sacrificing the distinctive quality you've come to expect from 3Dlabs. You'll appreciate the performance advances made to the "fastest graphics on the planet."
