nisus Posted May 25, 2002 Author Share Posted May 25, 2002 Hi strat, I thought someone asked it allready, but I couldn't find it... Anyway, I wanted to find out about mental ray because I didn't see that anywhere, and I heard a guy from a firm that sweared by it... nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asim Harbas Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 "go for the market leader in speed, cinema 4d 7. fastest radiosity/gi engine on the market today" I don`t thinkTry "Inspirer" from "Integra" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandre Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 hi guys, i went to integra's site but i was definitely not impressed by inspirer; maybe end-users have better galleries, could you post some links ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisus Posted May 27, 2002 Author Share Posted May 27, 2002 Hi alexandre, I know the user gallery of integra is not that great, but their background information is nice I've read lots of articles on radiosity-renders and most of them claim to be the fastest. I just don't know who to believe... rgds nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexandre Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 dear asim, i'll let you have the final word because your sponza image is indeed very nice and the time you anounce is quite remarkable, but this "battle of the renderers" is more likely a "war" and i'm sure we haven't seen the end of it; so, until one or the other really stands out of the crowd i'll play it by ear and stick with cinema 4d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisus Posted May 27, 2002 Author Share Posted May 27, 2002 Hi Asim, I am simply perplexed by the quality and low render and processing times. Good work! I'd love to see more nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samp Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I experimented a while with Mental Ray.I find it quite hard to use.Very unpredictable what the result will be : too much/less light ...However when you found the right setting for your scene, he results are realy good! (especially knowing that this is rather an old renderer ...) But like there is allready said ... so bloody slow !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
