RandomControl ARION 是一款与fryrender 为姐妹的物理渲染器,通过对CPU+GPU+LAN(网络）三者的联合运作实现加速渲染器

丛开始到现在渲染速度有很大的提升尤其是GPU模式渲染速度上更是快捷 2010年是GPU渲染器年代的到来，2009年VRAY RT的发布激起了GPU渲染的应用

RandomControl ARION渲染器渲染的质量可与 maxwell 所媲美，优势是加入了GPU渲染模式，速度上得到大大提升。

Arion的GPU加速是建立在nVidia CUDA的基础之上的，所以你的显卡需要是nVidia6系以上级别的显卡，并且需要安装CUDA Toolkit或集成CUDA的驱动以便然Arion顺利运行

CUDA技术是一种程序语言使GPU芯片加入到数据计算。。。。此技术有相关说明百度百科里面可以搜索到

不过只适用N卡 A卡好像是有个OPCL技术

系统配置要求：

Windows XP, 2000, Vista, 7 and newer (32-bit and 64-bit).
A CUDA-enabled device is necessary in order to benefit from GPU hardware acceleration.
A 64-bit system with 4GB of RAM or more is recommended.
A modern CPU (Core i7 or newer) is recommended for optimal performance.
A modern GPU (Fermi or newer) is recommended for optimal GPU rendering performance.
Multiple GPUs are recommended for optimal GPU rendering performance and smoother UI response.

=======================
Arion 2.0

Because the most demanding productions require the sharpest tools, we have created Arion 2.0.

Packed with unprecedented flexibility, speed and output quality, the new Arion 2.0 technology is at the heart of our stand-alone renderer as well as the MAX LIVE and XSI LIVE plug-ins.

What is Arion?

Arion is a hybrid-accelerated and physically-based production render engine. It inherits all our expertise in light simulation and makes it run on steroids, thanks to our very unique massively parallel GPU+CPU approach.

Arion is a high performance production renderer capable of producing hyper-real images and animations.

Arion’s unique approach

Arion uses all the GPUs -and- all the CPUs in the system simultaneously, not wasting a single flop available. Additionally, Arion can use all the GPUs and all the CPUs in all the other computers in the network forming a cluster for massive distribution of animation frames.

Production-ready

Arion 2.0 is able to handle very large data-sets and still deliver a very good performance. By means of using instancing, render-time displacement and render-time subdivision surfaces, it is possible to render virtually anything on a modern hardware-accelerated computer using Arion.

Feature-complete

Arion 2.0 can handle most of the rendering effects which are considered standard these days such as displacements, instancing, motion blur, … and more. And beyond the current feature list of Arion, we keep researching and developing to bring even more features in the near future.

Stable and rock-solid

The Arion 2.0 technology has been crafted with the highest coding quality standards in mind. As a result, its rendering core is nearly unbreakable and will relentlessly render for hours or days without ever crashing.

Arion 2 is also:
