Arnold is a Monte Carlo ray-tracing renderer for film, VFX and animation. It produces photoreal images with physically based lighting, on CPU or GPU.
Arnold has plug-ins for Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini, Cinema 4D and Katana, and it can also run standalone.
Yes, for interactive rendering. 3ds Max and Maya include Arnold, but batch rendering on extra machines and render farms needs a standalone Arnold license like this one.
Both are production ray tracers. Arnold is known for physically based, easy-to-set-up rendering and is built into Maya and 3ds Max, which makes it a default in film and animation. V-Ray, from Chaos, is popular in architectural visualization. If you already work in Maya or 3ds Max, Arnold needs no extra plug-in.
Yes. Arnold runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Two options: a 1-year license for $94.99 or a 3-year license for $229.99. Both are official Autodesk licenses with no monthly payments.
