    Render people:

    What is your renderer of choice? Do you use Octane or Arnold? This was a great starter but I'm still not sure which way to go. I'm going to be using X-Particles soon, Not sure if that's relevant. Tell me your preference and why. I haven't used either.

    • I use a lot of standard and some physical, just learned octane, it is good for the live previewfeel
    • I would say I use Standard 80-90% of the time. It's so much faster but Physical can get some very superior renders.CyBrainX
    • I use Vray, the recent 3.4 update is incredible compared to the fucking garbage that was 1.9 - two+ fucking years that thing has been going with no updates.face_melter
    • It adds RT, (limited) GPU rendering, faster performance, better setups, and a improved UI. Very impressed actually. Learning curve is a fucking nightmare thoughface_melter
    • Tried Octane - not keen. Sorta like Arnold but as mentioned below - the speed can cause a problem. There are ways to diagnose what causes the bottleneck...face_melter
    • ...but you need to get deep into the guts of it to smooth things out. Results are great though.face_melter
    • Yeah, we had to spend almost as much time optimizing as lighting... still had 1 hour frames down from like 4 hours... but it was dense mesh + photo realJulesvm
    • That's the rub for me - doing arch-viz, everything has to be real, or at least appear real. Reflections and detail for days :/face_melter
