Arnold is a global illumination system incorporating modern ray tracing
and physically based shading techniques. Arnold offers greater speed,
more power and higher quality. This gives studios using Arnold a
distinct competitive advantage - especially in big-budget productions.
Over the past few years, Arnold has been used to create unique visual
effects in major VFX feature films, animated features, and high-end
commercial projects. Sony Pictures Imageworks was the catalyst for
the professional adoption of the product and will use Arnold in all
upcoming films.
