What shall I prefer:

[muchhal.sandeep@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

 

I am new user to advanced lighting systems, GI and others.

 

I have startes studying mental ray as my rendering engine.

But am still not sure that what shall I go for Vray, Mental ray,

or any other one.

 

Which will be helpful to me in future and will produce good results.

 

another thing is that there is a lot of support on vray for models libraries and materials etc. which is not so strong with MR.

 

Quiet confused now I am

Help me out.

if price is an issue, mental ray comes shipped with max, and is getting better, easier and faster with each release. comes packed with a very good library of preset arch materials also.

on the other hand vray is the preferred tool for arch viz, very fast and extremely high quality (in proper hands, like any software). about the learning curve, depends. if you have no previous experience with a GI system, it's no apple pie. compared to previous releases of mental ray, for example, is VERY easy, haha.

Please check out Maxwell Render! I started using it about a year ago and I can't imagine going back to mental ray. There's a free demo available.
