At RandomControl we’re resolute to pioneer the next step in light simulation. To this end we have taken all the expertise we have gathered in the making of our flagship product fryrender and worked on an entirely new technology designed to produce comparable output, but using every single computing device at your disposal. Arion makes use of our novel proprietary multi-CPU / multi-GPU / multi-IP interactive rendering technology.
Some facts about Arion:

* Uses all the GPUs -and- CPUs in your system simultaneously.
* Plugging an extra GPU delivers an immediate performance boost.
* 20x to 100x speed up per machine (hardware-dependent).
* Strictly physically-based.
* Fully unbiased (no cheats, no shortcuts).
* Does not need any kind of precomputations.
* Easy-to-use interactive WYSIWYG editing app.
* The real-time viewport -is- final quality.
* Production render engine features (commandline renderer, compositing channels, etc…)
* Compatible with NetWarrior for hyper-fast cooperative still frame and animation rendering.

Instruction:

-after installation open license manager inside arion and intall the provided license.
-in configuration tab check all gpus you got and all cpus available.
-in netwarrior don’t forget to choose the path in a network shared location or it won’t use all machines available.
-install cuda to run or it won’t load.
-if you want to run both 64 & 32 bit paste “cudart64_30_14.dll” inside arion\tools folder.

  3. I have this problem, when I try to do a test, and hit RENDER, it’s gives my that error message window, that says : Could not create output folder and scene file. What can I do? I didn’t put the license.lic anywhere, maby that’s the problem?

  5. maya 2009 + fryrender + arion
    The plugin is the same for fry and arion
    I cant find the plugin in maya
    How do I render in arion from maya?

    Tnks..

  6. okey guys any of you been testing this release ? a spent about an hour with it and i am a bit confused. it gives me errors way too often. it messes geometry in some cases. misses caustic !!! i dont know how this is posible, ui is freezening making the scene very hard to navigate. is this like a proper “customer” experience or what ? is this diferent than the non cracked version ? maybe like older release or something ? cause this works nothing like in the videos for me. I meen i only ve go nvidia 8800 512 mb ram but it should be enough at least to test it. i dont know … what is you experience ?

  7. okey i am on 0,8 milion samples / s without gpu and 1,4 with … way too small diference . maybe some bug ? does anyone experienced somthing like this ?

  8. is it because i ve got only one gpu and system is not able to use because of its monitor output or what … why didnt they release demo ? i really wanted to buy it but how should you ask dev. about cracked version … this sucks

  9. 260GTX here, this is amazing beyond what words can adequately express.

    This makes VRay RT look very, very wimpy.

    I don’t think an 8800 is going to cut it and there are some .reg files (in the randomcontrol>arion folder) to disable a windows feature that will improve performance….

    This is the ULTIMATE!!!! Thank you Kmej and NoBax!!!!!

    Four minutes on a Q6600 and a GTX260!

    This RULES!

  11. this works whit ati?
    its work in 3dmax?
    the fryrender is better than maxwell?
    its god real?

  13. HOLY SH!T !!!! I’ve been waiting for this… downloading… will report if working.

  14. so this is the final version ? no cuts from oreginal ? i still have some problems … plugged in special gpu for display and rendering only on 8800 gts 512 + i7 920 and viewport stucks , it doesnt give me the smooth navigation as i would like to have. it works fine for you guys ?

  15. works fine… now i just have to learn how to use it…
    thanx a lot, kmej !!

  19. not work in 3ds max 2010,64 bit

    1) set fryrender on the motor rendering
    2) assign material fryrender at the object
    3) create a fryrender cam
    4) set a fryrender enviroment in a render setup
    when i click on the render button , appare a black render screen and scompare .

    for me not working fine.

  20. should i uninstall fry-render 1st? Arion is not showing up in my setup render tab.

    • @ starkiller I installed it and don’t have fryrender but was able to load old .fry files and export .fry files from 3ds max (and import them into Arion) :)

      @ satellitea30 – read both of my posts.

      @ Illidan – read my previous post. The 8800 isn’t gonna cut it man. Move on. I just upgraded to a gtx260 and it is worth every penny when I see Arion doing its thing.

    • its not you who did it we all know that.. so stop taking other peopls crack and claim its your job

  27. WOOOOOW

    really great up! working amazin on a dual xeon with 2 gtx285… imagine with a quadro or a tesla O.o

    gpgpu is the future!
    TNKS!

  28. Wtf is that?

    emmiters don’t work, transmittanse doesn’t work, anisotropy doesn’t work, absorption doesn’t work. Nothing works.
    Noisy as shit for interior scenes.

    If the “legal” version is like this shit i wonder why they didn’t put a demo in their site. It doesn’t worth even 200$.

  29. So now the newest Fryrender and Arion are released. Thanks alot.

    I still hope for a release of fryrender “SWAP”. In my opinion the most interresting and unique app in randomcontrols arsenal. All the other stuff was already available in one or the other form from other companies.

  32. Well that’s strange, Norton 360’s sonar advanced protection blocks me from installing the plugin for 3dmax as it finds to be a suspicious file. A file, that was downloaded directly from the random control site…

    Anyone had the same problem?

  34. yop for me it is just an expensive toy. try compare rendering fry scene in fryrender and arion. total diference in a bad way. and as milo said “emmiters don?t work, transmittanse doesn?t work, anisotropy doesn?t work, absorption doesn?t work. Nothing works.
    Noisy as shit for interior scenes.” total disapointment but i belive that it will improve over time.

  35. Can anyone let me know how to assign material to object in arion? There seems to have no user guide of any kind on ramdon control’s website.
    thx

    • Select a material from the scene materials list, hold alt and click on an object.. yes, it absolutely sucks..:)

      • thx D, very much appreciated.
        and indeed that workflow sucks.
        I will just have to wait for the Iray, me thinks.

  37. I have a problem changing the resolution, it only works on 640×480? Anybody have a clue what is going wrong?

    • I can render at 1600×1200 and higher for some scenes…

  38. it s kind of a bug i think. for me it works like when i change it … ig goes to colornoise and the arion stops responding.

  39. Is there somebody who really tested arion power and is satisfied with the result ? The most scary thing for me is quality diference between fry and arion.

    • For what I do it works very well. I don’t use a lot of glass however so cannot comment on the fact that some folks are saying caustics doesn’t work.

  40. I’m not satisfied, this is not what i’m expected at all. The same scene render looks completely different in Fry and Arion. Materials and lights are not working properly in Arion.Bumps, highlights, caustics… all goes wrong with arion =(

  41. Thanks…. but please someone gives us MachStudio Pro from Studio GPU:
    http://www.studiogpu.com/

  42. It gives me error – The Program can’t start beacuse cudart64_3_14.dll is missing form your system. PLEASE HELP…

    • extract the cuda…dll file into the randomcontrol/arion/tools folder

  43. Seriously… is this really the final version? Not some leaked early beta or something?

  44. chill out folks. See the version number? 1.0.0.1!!!

    It’s going to have a few bugs. Based on Fryrender, it should be due for a dot point release soon which will fix alot of issues.

  45. Although i am dissapointed i hope that somewhere in 1.5 version they will make it as respectful as Fryrender is.

  47. If you’re going to bag it out, write a better program.

    Sure it’s not perfect but all software has to leave the building at some point or else it could be ‘bug fixed’ indefinitely. It WILL improve. Look at Fryrender and Maxwell, they were both buggier than Arion when they were first released and look at where they are today.

    I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn Arion (or any software package) while it is still new and lacks 10 million overbloated, redundant features.

    With Arion I see the future very clearly, to me it spells the end of waiting more than a few minutes for an image to render.

    • Anyway, its useless at the moment.
      And. please tell me what you are you going to learn? Theres nothing to learn in airon. You just run it, load scene and apply materials.

      If am not right, show me someting rendered with airon, with time stamp added.

  49. I have “only” one GPU:8800GT but with ARION the Render ist about 5X to 10X Faster than a Render with FryRender-Only CPU-Based.(Intel Q6600, 8GB RAM, Win-7-X64, 8800GT-512MB). I am very Happy with ARION. Great!

  50. thats mainly because your cpu isnt as good as one might think for unbiased render. So of course when you plug aditional device (gpu) than the jump will be rapid. It s for sure that speed of arion is absolutely beautilful but the amount of bugs and missing functions (mainly instancing but other stuff too) is reason to keep your focus on cpu based applications at least for little while. But i m a huge fan of gpu raytracing and i hope big things are to come
