if there is a lot of direct light its 5 times faster than vray. Redshift: red is a new GPU renderer for animation. rendering speed is similar to arnold you would need a little farm if you need to render animations.

and there is a free non commercial version.! its a must try for erveryone. the new RIS system is much easier to use and similar to arnold or vray. its much better integrated and moving really fast in development. Renderman: since version 19 renderman is a pathtracer. could be a surprise for some render gurus. its unfinished but could be back on top in two years i think. but there is a lot of geo translation and other stuff missing. there are the new MILA shaders and the gi next. mr in is the middle of the transition to the new system. it has the most modern gi (GPU) solution. Mental ray: mr is not outdated at all like 'the internet' is saying. its a brute force only gi solution so no way to speedup things with baked gi. render mask support is to complicated without scripting. i wont use it for interour renderings on a single machine. but you need a lot of rendering power to clean up noise if there is a lot of indirect light in the scene. optimized for animation and huge amount of data. works really fast if you have a lot of direct light. i tested arnold, mr, renderman and redshift.Īrnold: great render engine fast for lookdev. I have done smoe reavaluation in the last month. We have a little farm and need a lot of masking stuff. I render all day long cause im lighting TD and we here have chosen vray 7 years ago.

RENDERMAN VS ARNOLD FOR FREE

You can try Mental Ray and Renderman for free so why not give them a spin? Ideal for big studio with large render farm imo. However you really have no way to reduce render time. And since you can only adjust very few settings, it's easy to keep the quality consistent among very large team.

The good thing about c) is that it will render almost everything you throw at. The good thing about a) and b) are that you can cut down a lot of render time IF you have a knowledgeable team member. Lots of settings you can play with (not as much as MR), moderately intuitive, allow you reasonable amount of optimization tricks including GI caching and etc.Ĭ) Then you have the other end of the spectrum, minimal settings which makes it much more intuitive but at the same time you don't have a whole lot of way to optimize your render time (because there's not a whole of settings exposed to you).

They're improving the interface a lot as of late and since it's free anyway you should give it a shot and see if you like it.ī) V-ray is in the middle.
