Kick ass, NVIDIA has released a free version of Gelato 2.0 for end users like you and me. For those of you that have never seen this, it's a render for 3DS Max or Maya that uses your NVIDIA GPU as a floating point math processor.

Here's the artical from Tom's Hardware :

Here's Nvidia's own page.

Here's the download page.

So, you guys gonna put out some Gelato scenes now?

[edit] Ah, bad news. I don't know if this was JUST in the beta FREE version, but I think they do a stupid water mark on the renders.

I just saw it also. Is it compatible with 3DS stuff? I'd like to attempt to render some of my skins, and if I can do it with this, watermarks or not, I'll be happy. Can I just get the Brazil plugin and use it with Gelato?

Be handy to know exactly what one would need in order to put this software to use..
