🧩 Main Features
🌐 Physically Accurate Rendering (PBR)
Arnold simulates the behavior of light in the real world, offering consistent, realistic, and balanced results. It supports effects such as reflections, refractions, soft shadows, light dispersion, subsurface scattering, and caustics.
💡 Advanced Lighting
It includes a wide range of physically correct lights (area, point, spot, distant, mesh light, photometric) and supports HDRI sky domes, environmental textures, and light portals to realistically manage global illumination.
🧱 Customizable Materials and Shaders
Arnold offers a very flexible and powerful node-based shading system, compatible with the OSL (Open Shading Language). It supports standard shaders such as Standard Surface and toon shading for stylized results.
🔁 Real-time interactivity
Thanks to the IPR (Interactive Preview Render) Artists can see real-time changes to lighting, materials, and framing without having to wait for long rendering times.
🧪 Support for complex and procedural geometries
Arnold easily handles millions of polygons, displacement, hair/fur, particles, volumetrics, and instances, ensuring high performance even with very heavy scenes.
🔥 Volumetric rendering
Advanced capabilities for rendering fog, smoke, fire, and volumetric liquids, with the ability to integrate data from physical simulations (OpenVDB).
🎞️ Deep EXR and AOV
Support for multilevel rendering with advanced outputs (AOVs - Arbitrary Output Variables) for a flexible and professional composition.
📦 Integration with 3D software
