Anand Tech to use vray for rendering tests

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General
1

I was reading the latest xeon 55xx tests on www.anandtech.com and seeing that they used scan line, emailed them to say, USE VRAY! :slight_smile:

They replied and said yes they would like to use vray to run benchmarks which would be of huge benefit to us here obviously as there are about zero tech sites running vray as a bench mark tool.

So Mr Vlado can we organise a copy of vray for them? (be great advertising for vray itself)

Additionally I think we should get a new shiny test scene to work with, perhaps based on the scene with the fog by peterguthrie! ? :slight_smile:
Our old test scene floating around the forums would hardly get these new cpu’s warm.

below is a copy of the email:

Nathan,

I gladly accept your help and test scene. Send me the test scene and I’ll try it out. Let me know how you would like to see this tested. I have never worked with vray, so any pointers on what I should check are greatly appreciated!

Thx,

Johan.

Real visualisation companies use the vray plugin to render scenes, but you almost never see vray specific tests.
    Be nice to see vray tests, Id be more than happy to run them for you if you’d like to ship over that new xeon 55xx :stuck_out_tongue:

Alternatively see: Chaos: Industry-leading design and visualization software for a demo version. And I have a great test scene I can email you if your interested that all the vray people use themselves on the forum.

okay I emailed him.

That would be a pretty good promo. Plus, it would allow us to compare benchmarks a lot easier.

Id love to see an official HQ, high ram usage CPU benchmark or sample scene. Would help some people realize their limits and would allow high end builds to truly test equipment. I am new to vray so I dont know where high ram usage(lets say 64gb + as that usually triggers major farm cost increases) typically shows up in real world applications. A sample scene would be great, as it would give each build a render time for reference as well as hardware headroom. Or a few .vrscene samples with assets folder for practicing using the commands for vray standalone would be great too.
