Arnold is a physically-based, photo-realistic rendering tool that utilizes ray tracing techniques to produce high-quality renders for CG and VFX animation. Ray tracing is a mathematical algorithm (based on the Monte Carlo Path Tracing equation) that creates an image by projecting rays into a scene, reflecting them off surfaces and toward light sources to approximate the color value of pixels. Arnold utilizes computer hardware resources such as memory, multiple processor cores, and disk space to accomplish these tasks.
Arnold for Maya was first conceived in Spain and coded by Marcos Fajardo, who co-developed it in collaboration with Sony Pictures Imageworks. Years after its creation, the well-known company Autodesk acquired the Arnold renderer in 2016. Since then, the software tool has evolved to function with different render engines and CAD software. Without Arnold, Maya was only capable of utilizing a single processor core at a time. This is why Arnold stands out as one of the fastest rendering tools available.
