Thanks for your replies:) Ok so I decided to buy new CPU and do you think that Ryzen 1700 (with OC) will be a good choice? It's looks that after OC it's as fast Ryzen 1800X. And one more question. At the beginning I was using RT just for preview and for the final render I wanted to switch to Adv but the image was muuuch brighter or much darker on Adv than on RT (I don't remember but I think it was brighter) and that's why now I use only RT. But can you tell me why there was so big difference? I didn't change camera exposure settings etc. I didn't change anything, just pressed render on RT and image was fine, then switched to Adv and image was soo bright and after that I switch to RT again and image was fine again. But I'm sure it wasn't color mapping mode that made the difference.

Hi everyone:) I have a question about Vray Adv and Vray RT - simply: is it possible to achieve the same great realistic quality on Vray RT as on Vray Adv? I have to decide whether to go with GPU rendering or CPU. I do exteriors (and planning to do interiors and product visualization in the future) but I'm still a newbie (and my project don't look bad but I want to learn and learn and learn to achieve photo-realism one day) and for my last 2 projects I used RT with CUDA (GTX 1070) which (according to my tests) renders 3x faster than my i5-6600 but there were some problems (crashes during renders) and for last few renders I switched to RT CPU and then everything was OK (but very sloow). I want to reduce render times and buy new CPU or GPU and I was thinking about AMD Ryzen 7 1800X (for Ryzen I would also have to change my motherboard:/) and GTX 1080 Ti. But: GTX 1070 is 3x faster than my i5 - 6600 and also this AMD is 3x faster than i5-6600 so GTX 1070 = AMD Ryzen 7 1800X. And now the king - GTX 1080Ti which is probably 2x faster than 1070 (it has almost 2x more CUDA cores). So what do you guys suggest? 1. Buying GTX 1080Ti and using Vray RT (if there is no difference in quality between RT and Adv) 2. Buying AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and using Vray Adv Thanks in advance! And sorry for my english!

I have GTX 1070 and my CPU is i5 6600 so it could be better but could be worse but I don't have any plans for changing CPU or buying second GPU in the near future so do you suggest to keep rendering using CPU or this single GTX 1070 could render faster than i5 6600? My only plans are to upgrade RAM memory from 16GB to 32 because cinema crashed many times during rendering some bigger scenes with detailed houses and many trees around and even though I use clones/proxies all the time I had to remove some things or render in parts but isn't MAX even more RAM consuming/heavier? I've downloaded trial version and it opens up much longer than cinema and everything seems to work slower and my first impression was omg what a mess comparing to "clear" and "light" Cinema but maybe after a few days of learning it we could become friends;D

But have you switched from Cinema or from other app? If cinema then how do you think, is Max easier or harder to learn than Cinema? I mean modelling tools, materials and just everything that's important for architecture. And one question about render engines. I've been learning Vray but what do you think about Octane? Does anybody of you use it?

Thanks for help everyone:) With good camera angle, high reflectivity and trees located close to the windows it looks better now. I have one more question. I'm still a student and I've been learning Cinema 4D for months and I really like it but are there some big advantages of 3ds Max which makes 3ds Max much better choice than C4D for architectural visualization? If so is it still worth it to say Cinema goodbye and start learning Max?

It's my first post here so hello everyone:) I''ve been trying to make beautiful glass reflections (in cinema 4d + vray) like these on the picture: https://www.homekoncept.com.pl/produkt/projekt-domu-homekoncept-18/ but unfortunately mine aren't that reflective and on the same time refractive. I've tried many different settings but it still doesn't look like this. Do you think it was made inside a 3d app (and if so do you know some magic settings? or later in the post production? Thanks for help
