What is Arion

Arion is the hybrid-accelerated and physically-based light
simulator developed by RandomControl. It inherits all our expertise
in light simulation and makes it run on steroids, thanks to our
very unique approach to massive CPU+GPU+LAN computation.

Arion is:

* an interactive WYSIWYG editing application.
* a super-high performance production renderer.

Arion's unique approach

Arion uses all the GPUs -and- all the CPUs in your system
simultaneously, not wasting a single flop available. Additionally,
Arion can use all the GPUs and all the CPUs in all the other
computers in your network forming a cluster for massive computation.

In that regard, Arion is a grid-computing solution to the problem
of light physics simulation. Simultaneous GPU+CPU+LAN, combined
with our exhaustively optimized code, is what we call hybrid
acceleration.

What modelling apps are supported

Arion is fully compatible with the file formats used by fryrender
(.fry and .rcs). Thus, Arion and fryrender share and use the exact
same plugins.

Additionally, Arion can open/save scenes in the widely supported
.OBJ format. So you can use Arion from virtually every modelling
app in the market.
