Sorry for posting this in Corona related thread.
You can find an updated version here in the following thread.
After optimizing the scene (light portals etc.) I get an almost clean render after 50 seconds.
I think this can be optimized even further.
https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,6758.45.html

just for fun, 1 TitanZ 3000$ of amazon, 1 Titan 1200$. Hard limited to 6gb vram.

These infos are a little bit outdated.
I got my Titans for 900€ each and the Titan Z for 1400€.
Also vram consumption is very moderate. You can easily render complex scenes with proxies and stuff below 5 gb. It's not comparable to convential system ram.
You also have the option to use system ram for textures.

The new Titan X is coming out next week with 12gb of vram.
It seems like this card could be as fast as one Titan Z card (TBC!).

I don't want to advertise Octane here, just clarify some facts.
It was not the intention to start a never ending debate which engine is better, just wanted to give you guys a comparison.

BTW can you try the same at 1280x720 and 1920x1080 please?
Sure, will post them later.
Maybe also a 4k version.

Here is the updated scene.
50 seconds.

Btw Titan X is coming, could be as fast as Titan Z.
All specs TBC:

Agreed. it lack fine detail on the far away materials, like the curtain opacity maps.

Its only a simple diffuse material with transparency for now. Will update the scene tomorrow so it matches the original better. There is no material converter for Corona (for V-Ray scenes there is one).
I guessed the materials based on the benchmark screenshots.

It's managed differently.
Somehow ;)

Here's another one, with the scene a litle bit more optimized.
Forget the old ones ;)
39 seconds

For the benchmark scene: are there any light-planes/portals in front of the windows? The Octane scene is only lit by daylight.
I will try to optimize the scene a little bit and also render with "Direct Light" which is not unbiased.

Hey there, CPU-competitors ;)

Some notes:
  • Power draw is 860W max for 2 x Titan + 1 x Titan Z + System (for big scenes with proxies etc.)
    I've heard that peaks could be much higher but I've never seen that so far (watching the power meter while rendering).
  • I got my Titan's for 900€ each and the Z for 1400€
  • CPU and GPU ram consumption behaves different: If you organize your scene a little bit you can get away with 6gb very easily.
    There is also the option to use system memory with a little bit of speed loss. Have not tested so far.
  • Support is......ok. Requests get implemented...and sometimes not. I think that's a pitty because the Max plugin could be much better (material converter/editor, light lister etc)
    We have a long request list running on the forum with very little feedback

Overall I think it's a great engine and a big relief (coming from V-Ray) but usefull requests are getting ignored for whatever reason.
I do like Corona as well but had no time to really test it.

Funny...I did the same project some time ago in Octane Render ;)

Outstanding!
Can you post some details for the vegetation, rendertimes and hardware?

So in average ~2 hours  for 2000px resolution?

Very nice renders!
What's the resolution for all the images?

These look awesome!!
Great work. Would you mind sharing some of your tree models?
