Any particular tests or research results to back up your claims?
Hello,
thanks for your inquiry, Rawalanche: i have replay it below at the end.
About the research details you requested, we are about to bring out 3 new Tools that should also work in Corona (or, we program them to be compatible with Corona). Since it is not of no concern for the public discussion, i have dropped you details in PM.
About your comparison request, it is empirically easy to replay:
- Rendering a indoor scene in order to get clean output for our xx element&shaders takes on MR/Vray/Frender/Iray/Cinema4D/etc in DR 1 Minute. In Corona, without DR 5 minutes.
I can shot a video of it if it helps to illustrate the speed difference during rendering with DR on 60 GhZ and one without DR on 12 Ghz, if you desire, but you know just as i do, that it will be the most senseless video of all time :)
thanks :)
best regards

I meant the claims that Arnold is XX times faster than Corona. Sure, Arnold is probably faster in some scenarios than corona, but i am sure there are cases where it would be also slower. Mainly, even if there are some performance differences, i have some doubts it would be several times the performance, if we consider what an average VFX scene looks like.
Then again, if what you stated in your previous post is true, then Arnold does not have distributed rendering yet.
Lastly, i do not think that MR/Vray/Frender/Iray/Cinema4D/etc... renderers will achieve so similar results. I would especially like to see iray with distributed rendering, as i do not believe iray has that feature yet, and even if it did, you would be lucky to get clean interior scene with it under an hour, not a minute.
Of course i am not saying i am against DR. We often run into situations where (usually not very smart) client approves final renderings on the evening and wants to have three 7k print res images by the next morning. Then if you have 30 machines at your disposal but you can render only on 3 of them, because you have just 3 images to render, it can be a pain.
