Nice one Arjo! An image of that quality would probably take hours for
RS, requiring high raycount and low blur...
Many projects of mine rely heavily on procedural VSL materials, external
renderers are out of the question. My cellar is Boolean, the tiles are
procedural to avoid repetition (still some remnants of your code in
there Arjo!). It often takes me only a few minutes to set up a new VSL
procedural material as long as no new unfamiliar stuff is involved.
I like the RS renderer except its slow GI and difficulty in rendering
complex scenes (plants). I hope to run RS on a 8-core 64bit workstation
with 16 gig RAM some day.
By the way, did anyone notice large improvements in the V7 renderer? I
tried the demo but still cannot render complex, old plants - that same
error "cannot allocate ... bytes" pops up :(

But to give an idea about Vray: the attached image, rendered with very low gi
settings rendered in less than two minutes on my computer (dual Xeon 5570). An
image like that as I showed yesterday renders in about 7 minutes at high
quality settings. How does this compare to Fry or Octane? Do Fry or Octane
support full animation with flicker free GI? Not that I'm too keen on changing
again as each renderer will take quite some time to get used to. But I'm still
very interested in reviews and experiences of other 3D software users.
