An efficient global illumination renderer used by more than 500 studios and thousands of independent artists, Arnold has become the preferred tool among creative professionals for high-quality rendering. Arnold has been used on Academy Award-winning films such as "Ex Machina" and "The Martian" as well as the Emmy Award-winning series Game of Thrones, among other popular features, TV shows and commercials. "We're constantly looking out for promising technologies that help artists boost creativity and productivity," shared Chris Bradshaw, senior vice president, Autodesk Media & Entertainment. "Efficient rendering is increasingly critical for 3D content creation and acquiring Solid Angle will allow us to help customers better tackle this computationally intensive part of the creative process. Together, we can improve rendering workflows within our products as well as accelerate the development of new rendering solutions that tap into the full potential of the cloud, helping all studios scale production."
