![]() I've watched the video tutorials, I've read the forums posts, and I made my decision: I give up. I swear, I've read the manual, many times. Well, I may actually live with that but what I really can't understand is how to make changes to the surfaces. corrects nothing The most annoying bug is the fact that, each time I modify the scene, I have to manually delete all the files made by Luxrender, otherwise it will continue to render the previous version of the image. And, in fact, there is the new 4.0.5 version that. I also thought that, in the end, I'll become accustomed to the new interface and I'll start enjoying the "improvements" introduced by the new version. not user friendly, but since I'm always an optimist I awaited for some bug corrections and, maybe, some way to make the user's life a bit easier in doing simple tasks like changing the specularity of a surface. It was a big delusion, it was full of bugs and the new interface was a bit, uhm. Well I hope this long-winded reply provides a little insight at least.Some time ago I upgraded my Reality 2.5 to the new version 4. I might buy Octane as an intermediary step, before going all in with Maya, and then who knows, I may be so happy with it I don’t purchase one of the others. I came up with that list, simply because it seems to be the list of render engines most of the big studios use… The two render engines I’ve used the most are Mental Ray and Iray.īecause I want to ultimately render in Maya, I’ll probably end up purchasing Vray, Mental Ray, Arnold, or Redshift. I’m sorry I don’t have more experience with them. Meaning the difference between “good” and “bad” render engines is probably a large percent subjective as long as they support what you’re trying to render (like volumes for example). Another point I would like to make I’ve heard it said a lot in CG, it’s not so much the tools, but how you use them. If realism is what you’re after, I feel Iray can pull off some decent photo real renders. I’ve seen beautiful renders come out of all three of those render engines. I know some Daz PAs render with Octane from time to time, but I’m not sure what motivates them to do so. I just want you to be aware, you may need to spend a few hours building out your first shading networks (you may be able to find some pre-built available to download) to render a scene. It depends on the renderer, but sometimes shading networks can be 10+ or even more nodes put together like branches in a tree. Daz Studio gives the illusion that all you need to do to set up a shader is double click and then tweak some settings, but that’s because they’ve already built out the shading networks… I’m not sure how familiar you are with the process. I’m pretty sure with any external renderer you’ll need to re-setup your shaders. I would be interested in checking it out some day, but I choose it over the other two mainly because I want to buy Maya and I think I could use the same shaders in both Daz Studio and Maya with Octane. Octane seems cool, it also has “Out-of-Core Textures Support” which should allow you to GPU render larger scenes with less VRAM by storing some of the textures in your RAM instead. I haven’t spent much time looking into Reality or Luxus, so I know basically nothing about them, unfortunately. I don’t have Reality or Octane, but I’m the most familiar with Octane out of the three. You’re welcome, I’m glad to help! And thanks for the complements! I didn’t sleep well last night, reading you’re comment helped pull me out of that drowsy slump…Īs for external renderers, I used Luxus once, and when I say once, I mean literally once, one render lol.
