Will Iray eventually support out of core textures and rendering?

It seems like those features would be beneficial to both Iray and its users. While there may be a slight performance or efficiency hit, having the option to overcome VRAM limitations would be nice.

    You will have to ask Nvidia, since it's their rendering engine.

    Remember that IRay is written by Nvidia. The fact that you need a big, expensive Nvidia graphics card to make it work well isn't a bug, it's a feature. At least, it's a feature from Nvidia's point of view.

    So yeah, "those features would be beneficial to both Iray and its users," but not to the people responsible for writing it.

    To put it another way, the companies that make rendering engines that offer out-of-core processing are not the companies that make GPUs. They are competing with other rendering engines, not with the hardware.
