An overview of the NVIDIA Iray renderer for 3ds Max.

Solution:

The Nvidia Iray renderer (previously bundled with mental ray) creates physically accurate renderings by tracing light paths. For detailed information, see: iray Renderer.

Note: On 20 November, 2017, NVIDIA discontinued development of the mental ray and IRay renderers, as outlined in this Nvidia transition statement. More information on how to obtain support for mental ray and IRay can be found at this mental ray plugin FAQ sheet.

Updated versions of Iray for 3ds Max 2019 and Maya 2018 can be purchased from Lightworks.
