I have no idea how to use this program but I just saw on another forum about there being a free version now, so thought some hardcore graphics / design enthusiasts might be interested.
Render Everywhere with NVIDIA Gelato 2.0
NVIDIA® Gelato® rendering software brings high-quality rendering to the masses. A hardware-accelerated, non-real-time renderer, Gelato allows you to use your NVIDIA GPU to create stunning images fast. Originally designed for the creation of 3D visual effects and animation in feature films, Gelato can be used by anyone with NVIDIA hardware to create images of the very highest quality.
It's Fast
Gelato is a software program that leverages the NVIDIA GPU as a floating point math processor. This allows Gelato to render images faster than comparable renderers, but without the quality limitations traditionally associated with real-time graphics processing on the GPU.
It’s Free
Yes, Gelato is available free of charge. Now students, freelancers, startups, and small studios can take advantage of a high-end renderer with the capabilities of renderers costing thousands of dollars.
Download the free version of Gelato (http://www.nvidia.com/page/gelato_download.html)
It’s Full Featured
If you require extra power in your 3D rendering pipeline, you can upgrade to Gelato Pro. With Gelato Pro you get the features required for production rendering:
* NVIDIA® Sorbetto™ interactive relighting technology
* DSO shadeops
* Network parallel rendering
* Multithreading
* Native 64-bit support
* Maintenance and support from NVIDIA’s High-Quality-Rendering Team
Gelato Pro is available for purchase for US$1500 per node, including the first year of maintenance and support.
More info FAQ's and system requirements here (http://www.nvidia.com/page/gelato.html)

Check out the Image Gallery (http://www.nvidia.com/page/gelato_gallery.html) to see what it can do, and I think, obviously, you need an Nvidia video card to use it.
