What do you like best about Iray?

Interactive Preview is very cool. The material library does offer a range of shaders. The render settings based on the samples is also a great feature I use. Overall it's a nice to have renderer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the right GPU, the interactive render is super to do many iterations in the 3D scene. The depth of field looks so good. The sampling was actually simple. The denoise effect was also a great deal for my renderings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
