Pretty simple one, but again, I wanted to share (since very few are sharing anymore).

[M.Max]

as usual very well balanced
I liked what you did there with the red flowers that added life to the iamge
I think you missed a grass patch back on the left in post production :P
Regarding sharing works unfortunately we had to move to other renderer that fit our needs more for archviz .
but I still do personal sketches using VRay when I have free-time and will share some soon .

Thanks! What did you move to, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks! What did you move to, if you don't mind me asking?

We moved to Corona and Almost everyone I know here did the move too .
Mainly because of :
1-IPR speed /stability
2-post processing tools
3-lightmixer

We still use vray for animations mainly because of the speed of GI (IM +LC) tho.
Vray have way more features, but for the simple archviz work what corona providing is enough for us.

Oh dear another big gun lost.
- IPR is instable as hell and in many cases properly unusable - and if i should report every single problem i woudl have to be payed for debuging otherwise i woudl not make a penny
- post processing - dotn get me started on VFB - if at least this was updated!!
- lightmixer - no idea why it did not make its way to NEXT
- bump mapping - jesus that obvious edging bug may be there for years to come!!

To me NEXT is a huge let down (instability, unfinished features, promised and missing features) and i understand why people are changing horses. Its a huge shame.

Looks like guys at Chaos dont mind people migrating as they have Render Legion now under the hood but i have to say it scares me when it comes to what i can expect from future releases.

Users that stayed with vray would at least deserve to see a roadmap from Chaosgroup what and when to expect just like Corona guys are doing.

I am still sticking with vray because i payed for the NEXT on 4 workstations and 10 rendernodes but if i were to decide again, knowing how many hours i loose with debugging the thing, i would move too. Sad to say this.

Sorry for the rant, back to work

BTW Bobby, nice work!

Most of the reasons I didn't make the switch to NEXT yet. Hopefully the next SP will provide.

I started thinking the same too ..as I've posted these issues here in the forum and never get any reply from the developers ..that silence made me scared.
in my previous studio I showed them corona (before the official release of Next ) and within a month all the studio start using corona exclusively ..the monthly rental licences system made it easy to do so .
With that being said I'm working now in my free time on a short cinematic with 2 friends where I will be using V-Ray for rendering as Corona can't cut it for this type of work ( VDB, deep EXR, ..etc )
and to not be so biased I did write a list for the top 30 features that V-Ray have over Corona here .
Sorry Bobby for opening this discussion here ,but I'm really sad that I had to do this move and seeing it is not only me that feel the same make it even harder .

Hey, no problem. Talk is good for everyone. The mood here has definitely changed over the past year, or so, and the echo is deafening. Sometimes I feel like I am at the soup counter in front of the soup Nazi when I ask for help. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WRxEY8o3kc)

looooool that was cruel

[glorybound]

Just joking I do appreciate the help I get here.

Multi region render in Corona is, for me, a game changer... That and lightmix made me make the jump, and I will never look back, for my type of work at least.

But I love you Vray, and I will always do
