It's finally here. HP ZED, a special two-week 'pop up creative studio' hosted by HP, Intel and NVIDIA alongside a team of award-winning industry pros, launched last night with a talk by 3D veteran Simeon Balabanov on 'The Latest V-Ray Technology for VFX'.
CG artists from around the capital gathered to chat, network and learn about the latest developments in V-Ray from an industry pro.

He also passed briefly over Chaos Group’s latest advances in V-Ray RT towards GPU Production Rendering.
