ProWalker GPU With NVIDIA Iray

ProWalker emphasizes GPU pathtracing (in contrast to Podium Walker and SU Podium, which are both CPU based). ProWalker GPU is capable of significantly higher render quality than Podium Walker v1.5, and is recommended as a companion plugin to SU Podium for users who want to utilize their NVIDIA graphics card in rendering.
