I was chatting with someone who'd been messing with hardware assisted
rendering a few months ago. He was claiming - and I'm inclined to believe
him, that he was getting 30-40 minute a frame renders down to sub 1 minutes.
Apparently ther results can be quite impressive.

Subject: Re: Gelato
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:
* Subsurface scattering: Powerful, physically correct simulation of
subsurface scattering effects, according to actual local geometric and optic
properties
I wonder if this is exposed in XSI v4.......would be nice.

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.

Q: Can I use it with Maya? Is there a Maya plug-in available?
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.
