the longest render I ever saw. was it worth waiting?
I leave this question unanswered...

WOW ...... no comment ..

[Da_elf]

ok thats just too funny for words. so ill use an image (with words)



hehe. it really does. but hey. in their defence its still an alpha (or beta i forget) renderer.

Was that a test rendering? Looks like he needs to adjust the lighting a bit. Hmm... Tweak - wait 345 hours - tweak - wait 345 hours.......

Guys guys... Maxwell did not make that render. The artist did. He/she decided that 1- Maxwell was the right tool, 2- 345 hours was worth the wait, that is his/her choice. I can easily make a render in Vray that lasts 345 hours. BTW. 345 hours is 10 days. And 345 hours at lets say $30/hour is around $10k. Would it be worth it? Question is, can you make a render in Maxwell that is 20 mins? I am sure you can.... maybe not now, but some day.

I dont think we're doing ourselves much justice when we poke fun at other renderers. Ive seen chris defend vray and its methods to alot of hardnose, stubborn renderman types.

And while I agree the render might not be all that and a cupcake, and vray could have done the same thing in 20 minutes, I hope we can be above raggin on others.

Ive been critical of maxwell in the past, but you have to remember, your not just beating on maxwell, but this guys hard work.

Well said Percy... and the truth is that, regardless of the rendertimes, it is undeniable that Maxwell is creating waves. We may not have PPT and the new Physical Sky in Vray if it was not for Maxwell. So we can thank them for that.

Maxwell is a great tool, I'm wating for the final release....there are amazing images...very realistic ones, but it's one more tool as Vray.

Maxwell in some cases is not slow if you compare with the quality...using the maximun quality in Vray also takes for ever....the beauty of Vray is that one has options

would see, Next Limit is doing a very good job

[Da_elf]

does anyone here still use PPT?

[Dynedain]

..BTW. 345 hours is 10 days...

I'm not sure where you're from (perhaps Mars?), but over here, a day only has 24 hours.

[percydaman]

lol i suppose his math might be a tad off. And I didn't know it was standard to charge clients strictly for rendertime. But I dont think that was his main point.

[Morbid Angel]

lets not start another thread about how vray is better then maxwell...its all been said before:
its not the tool its the artist who uses it.

well said!
many ppl here use more than 1 render software..
we've all seen bad images in all rendering engines
*phew* glad there still isn't an 'automatic render' button

[DaForce]

345hours WOW.... ahhh yeah thats ALOT.

Its a decent enough render tho I guess. But I dont think maxwell could have changed that.

There aint no "automatic artist" button either. Wait I think it is Alt-F6
