Hello,
I was interested on this CGTalk thread,
--- LINK --- This guy, with
Titan X + GTX980Ti, in 18 minutes, and with his new FStorm GPU renderer for 3ds max, can obtain this image.
I'm always fascinated by new rendering engines =)
So, I converted (by hand) the scene for Corona ( I have the permission from DronK)
Next, my test, with a good, old
I7 970 @ 3900Mhz. Not bad for a 4 year old CPU ^_^
With a new 5960X (in overclock), we can reduce more than half the rendering time ;-)
Corona 1.3 (commercial version)CPU = I7 970 @ 3900 Mhz
Res = 1024x1024
Pass = 130 pass
Rendering time = 30 minutes
Feel free to render this scene and write here your result.
--- DOWNLOAD --- Unfortunately, the red shader is too glossy and it doesn't match exactly the original version.
Also, the lamp intensity is too low. Sorry.
