This all sounds interesting but I want to know how the FX4000 will
benefit us with the release of XSI v4. Will this card, right out of
the box, dramatically increase render performance without the need for
custom shader writing or software development? Also:
<ul>
<li>Subsurface scattering: Powerful, physically correct simulation of
subsurface scattering effects, according to actual local geometric and
optic properties
</ul>I wonder if this is exposed in XSI v4.......would be nice.<br><br>

Overview:<br><br>
Gelato does not require a specific type of input or output format. It
ships with an API for creating plug-in interfaces to industry standard
scene formats. With the API, users and product manufacturers have the
ability to create plug-in interfaces for their digital content creation
(DCC) applications.<br><br>

Q: Can I use it with Maya? Is there a Maya plug-in available?<br>
A: Yes. To facilitate using it in a variety of ways, NVIDIA will soon be
shipping a plug-in for Maya with Gelato. The Maya plug-in allows the user
to select Gelato as the renderer for a particular scene. The plug-in uses
the Maya GUI to select the attributes for Gelato shaders and then
converts the Maya outputs to a Python (pyg) file that Gelato can
read.<br>
