Nvidia acquires MentalRay

Nvidia just bought MentalRay ( available for Maya, Houdini, XSI, 3DSMax ) which is probably a good thing considering that any descent 3D workstations uses Nvidia's mighty Quadro FX GPUs. Also that could mean a serious improvement of the future releases of Nvidia's Gelato, the GPU accelerated rendering engine, which already support Ambient Occlusion, Global Illumination, Caustics, Motion Blur, Depth of Field, and many more features. Nvidia seems to have some serious plans with the release of Plex and Tesla multi-GPU units.

This is also extremely interesting considering that Nvidia just released the Triple-SLI for the GeForce 8800 GTX. Let's hope they will do the same with Professional Card. Also, don't miss amazing bargains on Quadro FX cards HERE ( international delivery available )
