Feature

Guerilla Render GUI is optimized for the look development and the lighting tasks. The renderer is perfectly embedded in the GUI.

Load plates over or behind your render, push and compare images.

All the memory is available for rendering. The pre-computations are cached in memory for faster re-rendering.

Guerilla Render provides a professional color pipeline. The different input/screen/output color spaces are carefully handled and can be all controlled by the user.

Work in a non-linear fashion using the RenderGraph. Always track the work you have done and replicate it easily.

Organize the different attributes of related objects in the same space of the document.

Quickly debug a shot. Find which node is producing a specific behavior.

Easily copy and paste all the work done on an asset or a shot into a new project in two clicks.

Using Alembic files, gather the animations and simulations you have done in any 3d package compatible with Alembic. Render everything together and simplify your pipeline.

Guerilla Render uses an unbiased bidirectional path tracer to render the scene. You can validate shots with fast preview renders and be sure the final renders will be the same, with less noise.

Thanks to the progressive rendering, Guerilla Render gives you a fast and consistent preview of your work. Re-rendering is even faster than the first render.

Once you are happy with the progressive result, you can render your project in final quality. The image will then converge to the exact same result than the progressive render. For an equal number of samples, the final render will be even faster and less noisy.

Guerilla comes with physically plausible shaders for surfaces and curves. Using the same Surface shader, you can blend the different layers to get a plastic, glass, metal, car paint or skin look, using understandable attributes.

You can use texture masks to blend the BRDF layers inside a single object. No need to split your model by materials any more. Simply paint the metal or the glass part of your object in a mask to drive those BRDF layers.

The subsurface scattering is rendered like any other BRDF, available on every surfaces, with no effort.

Guerilla Render provides lots of sub-shaders, like textures, bump, noise... Those sub-shaders can be assigned to any shader inputs using the RenderGraph.

Guerilla Render is shipped with a large choice of lights and environments for all kind of situations. Lights can have various shape and can contain multiple clipping volumes like cones, cylinder, frustum...

You can easily create a light rig, save it and share it with other people.

The lights can be animated, rigged, constraint to any object present in the SceneGraph.

The lights can be assigned to specific AOVs. You can render for example a Specular AOV lit only by the fill lights.

All Guerilla Render lights and environments are built using shading networks. They can be easily customized to your production needs.

Guerilla Render gives you a professionnal level of control of your render. Light/shadow/trace linking has never been so simple and powerful. The image sampling can be controlled at every step.

Light/Trace Linking. You can control the visible light and object sets into each BRDF of a shader, like I don't want to see this object in the reflection of that object.

Light Override. You can override the light attributes only for a subset of objects, like I want this light to be blue for this specific object.

Sampling. You can control the sampling (i-e the amount of samples used) by pixels, at every shader, at every BRDF, at every light and every environment.

Everything in Guerilla Render is open and customizable. Components like materials, lights, sub-shaders, environments, render pass AOVs, are written using Renderman® Shading Language shaders or shading networks. You can customize any single component with basic TD skills.

Once you have created a new component, you can directly use it, or you can export it in the library to share it with your team. Materials, displacement shaders or sub-shaders can then be directly referenced and applied to any objects using a simple RenderGraph node. No need to import them in the project.

Thanks to our unique embedded SIMD shader compiler, those scripts and networks are optimized and compiled on the fly using the parameters you choosed, producing the fastest possible code, even faster than a C++ hardcoded shader.

Guerilla Render is designed around an unique raytracing technology which fully takes advantage of the CPU computing resources and lowers the memory bandwidth to deliver the best possible performances.

Guerilla Render performances scale transparently with the number of cores of your CPU.

Thanks to its unique design, Guerilla Render is very efficient at raytracing hairs and sub surface scattering.

Guerilla Render uses original sampling strategies to converge at the fastest possible speed.

Guerilla Render compiles all its shaders on the fly using an embedded SIMD compiler.

Guerilla Render deals everyday with huge production datasets. It supports massive texture loads, can render hundreds of output images at the same time and raytrace billions of unique polygons or curves.

Guerilla Render features an optional geometry compression to save even more memory.

As all good raytracers, Guerilla Render supports instances.

Guerilla Render comes with a library of hundreds of nodes. Materials, lights, environments, sub-shaders, shading nodes, procedurals, render passes...

The materials include a surface shader, a curve shader, a displacement shader and some utility shaders.

Many lights are included, like square lights, sphere lights, lights with cone, frustum or tube attenuation.

The library includes three type of environment, HDR Image, gradient or physical sky.

The sub-shaders include textures, bevel normal, bump normal, normal maps, noises, voronoi patterns...

Create your own nodes, extend the library and share it on the production floor.

Guerilla Render directly communicates with your renderfarm manager. It generates the jobs and submits them on the farm, with a single click.

A render job can be distributed between multiple computers.

Using our Coalition manager, you can setup a renderfarm in few hours.
