The Autodesk RayTracer (ART) is a highly optimized path tracer for CPUs developed by Autodesk for easy and immediate rendering capabilities from desktop products and Cloud rendering. It provides fast, highly scalable and consistent quality rendering.
ART can efficiently render a range of images from simple consumer products, mechanical parts, large architectural projects and complex building interiors with natural or artificial light. No special settings are needed other than the desired final quality. ART will self-tune.
ART materials are a new class of physically based materials and when used across Autodesk applications guarantee identical results whether the rendering is done locally, on the cloud, or with data from different applications.
ART is currently used by:
- Autodesk Cloud rendering
- Fusion 360
- Revit 2012 and later
- Inventor 2012 and later
- AutoCAD 2016 and later
- Navisworks 2014 and later
- 3ds Max (no native materials)
