| NVIDIA Gelato 2.2 |
Gelato was a program designed by US tech company
NVIDIA, most noted for their work on graphic processing units (GPUs). First
released in 2008, Gelato is a high quality rendering software designed for
creating stunning "film quality" images and 3D graphics.
Gelato runs quite fast. You can render your images with great ease and
simplicity, making it an ideal image rendering program for everyone from
graphic designers to students, or even if you just like toying around with
images.
As NVIDIA themselves put it, the software is "fully featured" including their own Sorbetto interactive relighting technology as well as Network Parallel Rendering.
What may be of particular interest to students and freelance designers is that NVIDIA's Gelato is free of charge, so unlike some of its counterparts, you're getting a high quality program for nothing.
Gelato is a little outdated now however. NVIDIA have removed it from their site and released Optix instead . As a result, NVIDIA haven't released any updates for the program and will not be issuing any new updates to the Gelato software in the future. Since then, there have been various new image rendering programs that have emerged.
Pro's: Fast running, simple usability once you become familiar with it, great results
Con's: No updates to come, a little outdated, many system requirements to just get started

Gelato has a number of system
requirements needed in order to get started, including two other NVIDIA
products - the workstation GPU Quadro FX and NVIDIA's GPU GeForce 5200, or a
GPU of a higher standard, are both needed.
Conclusion: NVIDIA's Gelato is a solid piece of software, built for the purpose, but with it no longer being available through NVIDIA and no longer being updated, it can easily be left behind by some of the more recent image rendering programs that are out there, free or otherwise.
