Vray 3.4 vs Corona 1.5

[Caue Rodrigues]

Work with V-ray nowadays looks like play soccer with wet pants IMHO.

Lol...even redshift is damn slow with interiors...this showed me why the corona team prefer cpu...#CoronaIsMyNewHome :)

Dear OP read my signature, I was a hardcore Vray user that time.

I can't say I've had the same speed experience for full res interiors that people are praising with Corona. 15-20 hour renders for a 6K interior on a 16 core machine is common for us and there is still some visible grain which is too long really. But weighed against the quality and material system there is no comparison. We do all our new projects in Corona but I think we might be tempted to use Vray for animations as we find it a bit faster, certainly the 3.4 version which is much improved.

After using Vray since beta, I moved to Corona a few months ago.

I work solely in archiviz, and since moving to Corona I've spent zero amount of time fiddling with render settings, figuring out optimizations, editing out splotches in post - and instead I've spent time creating better shaders than ever, making better lit renders and generally just had a good time. For me Corona just... works. The whole workflow just fits me better.

I started by trying the free 45 day trial on a project, and it worked so well I decided to completely skip vray. I hear Chaos have a lot of improvements coming for the next version, but if the core mechanics of GI and image sampling don't change radically, Corona will still be my choice.

yep, they have, but we have a lot of good stuff coming as well :P

Ah, I love competition :)
