Only 1 million hair on my laptop, the draw back is that Softimage is slow
to export that many hair strand... On my workstation I was able to perform
the same test with 20 millions hair strands.

We certainly don't want you to hire devs to achieve nice imagery. I think the
latest versions are very easy to use (and comes with a nice physically
plausible material).

They offer a free dual-core license too, which I think is pretty cool
rather than having watermarks or size limitations. (though the wonky
licensing scheme still seems unnecessary)
It's great to see all these different render engines being available for
this lowly "particle system" (hahaha!).
-P
I like how the tiles render so fast, Mental Ray is not like this.

Hi,
The video is back sorry about that: http://vimeo.com/67206997 ( rendering

Regarding depth of field, displacement and motion blur the impact between
REYES and Path Tracing isn't drastic or anything unacceptable..

Of course I like to try. What should I do to try the new one?

Thanks for the video and heads up Gregory,
it's refreshing to see that 3DL for Softimage is still actively being
developed, and from the looks of the change list relentlessly being bug-fixed
and optimized too.
You say this is a 4.0 "preview", in how far does it differ from the latest

"Where did you hear/read that ? Totally false obviously."
At my current job, they used 3DL on there past 3 production, maybe i miss
heard, that is just what i was told.
I'm not complaining, the more 3rd party renderers available for softimage
the better. :)

Hello Ciaran,
Next release of 3Delight for Sotimage is a path-tracer. REYES is optional. (You
can select one or the other).
The path-tracer introduces some novel sampling techniques, such as nice
sampling across multiple bounces, high quality environment sampling (no need to
blur your maps) an

As a Ray-tracer it will never beat Arnold at its own game, but maybe it has
other tricks up its sleeve...

True, it originated as a REYES renderer, but now it may be better thought
of as a hybrid renderer taking advantage of both techniques when needed.
I like working with Arnold too, but I don't think fast renders are one of
its strongest selling points.

I haven't tried 3Delight, but Arnold is **way** too good. My gut feeling is
Arnie is probably faster overall.
That said, they're entirely different rendering architectures so it's not
fair to compare. 3Delight is (as I understand it) renderman-compliant which
implies they probably use the Reyes re
That entirely depends on the use-case.
Arnold is in faster most raycasting situations, but 3Delight will be faster
for for example motion graphics or character animations with unrealistic
shading.
And even then it can very much depend on the complexity of the scene and on
of what kind that complexi
Is it as fast as Arnold :) ?
