Comparison Chart

[glorybound]

We will work on more precise comparison charts soon. For now, there are a few things that V-Ray does somewhat better (displacement), the bucket sampler also offers deep support and Cryptomatte support; V-Ray also has features like the V-Ray Clipper, VRayFur, Alembic support, MDL/OSL/GLSL support, the VRayVolumeGrid, UDIM and tiled texture support, VRScans, extended OpenEXR output, rendering Max's point particle objects and many others. V-Ray may also tend to be somewhat more memory efficient (the V-Ray proxies offer true on-demand loading of geometry). Adaptive lights might also be an advantage for scenes with a lot of light sources. And GPU support, of course.

Good to know, thanks.

For the moment, we plan to experiment with rendering Corona components with V-Ray GPU and see where that takes us.

Also good news.

yes, but I wouldn't take the forums let alone the gallery as reliable indication of how vray is actually used out there. I guess the majority of people and companies using vray simply don't post anything here.

Yup, a vast majority of my stuff is VFX and more industrial machinery and for the most part can not post 98% of the stuff I work on because its all R&D, I used to do a lot of Arch Viz but have maybe done half dozen in the last 11 or so years, I may yet get back in that game but for now I light give Corona a trial for sh!ts n giggles to see if is worth being part of my tool box.

Whoa, now that would be a game changer!
