Hi everyone,
Just got a supplement in my new 3dworld magazine with the reults of the Arch Viz survey.
09- Rendering
Which third pary rendering engine do you currently use in production.
47.7% VRay
25.4% Mental Ray
24.9% None
10.6% Maxwell
8.2% FinalRender
and the list goes on…
Congrats ChaosGroup! keep up the great work, and Im sure that percentage will grow with the release of 1.5!
here a joker about 1.5
excuse me oops:
Vray4ever
this is a thread for praising vray, not for dissing.
nuf said
116.8% hey LOL
Good to see vray ahead tho!!
116.8%
Don’t trust any statistics you did not fake yourself
lol…
similar saying “never let the facts get in the way of a good story”
:lol:
24,9 % none ? :?
:shock:
scanline…
Where’s Brazil? Surely someone is using that renderer for archtectural stuff!
brazil was next on the list
So all Max? No Maya at all? No Lightwave or Cinema4D?
chris, I suppose not. Infact as far as I can recall I havent seen any archviz in maya… maybe very few in lightwave. Those proggies are just not designed for stuff like that.
I’d like to see more % of vray used in movies/commercials.
bloody hell i’d love to NEVER be on the opposed side of this guy.
Here, i crapped me pants already.
aaaah geez.
:lol:
Lele
hahahaha
:lol:
now..now…this numbers sound way off…or atleast totally out of contest…how come the sum of those is greater than 100% and there is missing brazil score for example…(confused) 
I used to do a lot of Arch-Viz modelling and rendering in Lightwave, but it’s global illumination is truly horrible.
From the time I discovered Final Render, then V-ray, I never touched LW for Arch-viz again.
Chris, one of the advantages of max over any other cg package is its DWG reader.
Those Autocad nuts love to be able to click and import with layers, materials, correct normals and so on.
It can be a huge timesaver, IF the projects are modelled in autocad.
And there’s quite no application around with as many plugins as Max has, including the renderers.
So, while fR and the c4d renderer are virtually the same, i doubt c4d is so accurate and fast opening up un-educated DWGs, making choosing max over c4d a no-brainer.
And now that vray’s only on max, ah man.
I can testify i had to write all sorts of converters (animation, materials, even meshes for the lazy ones) from maya and LW to max.
People would just drool all over my desk if i didn’t.
And my insider news tell me they are STILL drooling to have it on XSI and Maya. Daily.
We’re lucky, spoiled brats.:lol:

lele… come on… 
the brazil score was 8.2%
I noticed too that it adds up more than 100%. However, some studious may use multiple rendering engines - assuming the statistics were not properly balanced and it is averaged according to the amount of time companies use a renderer on a project.
Without a link/facts in front of you - it’s hard to say. But I’d guess Vray was at the top…
shouldnt matter if they chose more than one. As it is still calculated the same way. Total number of votes.. what percentage was vray.
There is no proper reason to get more than 100% unless they farked it they added more votes after the intial couting was done.
Either way thats pretty embarasing IMO :lol:
Just my take on the % not just over 100% but well beyond, it is very possible to get these level of numbers; is it proper though?
As an example: if this was an online poll right now, I would choose VRay, and finalRender. And if i was the only one that had voted the results (based on how the above poll appears to have recorded the votes) it would list 100% of the people use VRay, and 100% of the people use finalRender, for a grand total of 200%.
So it’s easy to get (dare I say it) ‘accurate’ results that way, but ‘proper’, I’ll let all you decide.
