Iray
Warning
This feature requires a specific license option and may not be available in your software version.
Patchwork 3D includes Iray, a physically realistic raytracing engine designed to work with Nvidia graphics cards. Iray provides an interactive rendering with progressive refinement, which approximates the physically realistic behavior of light and its interaction with materials. Among other advantages, this allows for the use of effects such as global illumination.
In Patchwork 3D, modifications to Iray-specific settings are saved in the database. If an Iray database is later opened by an equivalent version of Patchwork 3D that does not include the Iray module, the Iray settings will be ignored, but will be preserved.
