Max 2010 slower than Max 2008: confirmed

[saudade]

I can confirm with my test what I wrote in the title.
I use principally 2008 64 on Vista ultimate, 16 gigs, 2 quad 3Gh xeons.

Btw, Max 2010 is not a good partner for Vray at the moment.
I investigate on the Legrenzi scene, probably the cause is the logarithmic exposure control managed by Max 2010.
I built the same scene with a vraysun, vray physical camera and I used a gamma correction 2.2 and linear workflow. The colors (saturation) of the rendered image were totally different but the render time was about 13 minutes.

I attached here an image like example (original Legrenzi scene) to understand how is simple (having enough ram) to boost the vray rendering speed tweaking the Raycaster parameters.

I hope this will help you.

Best regards.

you have the same in mental ray too. this is not directly vray related but autdesks error.
please use the search here, there where already some threads why this is, and a temporary solution
