Vanatge the Beast

I am impressed with Vanatge. I have been flexing my 4090RTX muscle with GPU, getting render times of about an hour. With my CPU, the same render in about 3 hours. I thought I would try Vanatge for some stills and 4K finals in 2-minutes!

Great times for sure, plus overall I reckon your clients will be happy (for me, they feel a little too soft from the denoising).
Also, considering the amount of work you always seem to have (very envious of that btw) it’s going to revolutionise your throughput :sunglasses:

The quality isn’t 100%, but that could be because I am a newbie with Vanatge. Yes, I am blessed with work!
​

The quality (softness thing) is simply a trade-off for speed really. It’s designed as a realtime app, so until the hard tech is capable of more, then it’ll be constrained somewhat.
If I was to consult my future-time-knowledge device I’m sure it would say that all will be gpu eventually :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll fix a few things and render again, using GPU to compare the difference.

If you’re rendering just stills, try the Intel denoiser.

Great looking interiors!

I think it is really nice especially for 2 minutes of render time.

It makes me happy to hear that you are using your RTX4090 with V-Ray GPU and Vantage and you are pleased with the performance so far.

You should test it without the denoiser and see what you get. Sometimes a little grain adds more realism. Glad to have you back with Vantage…Now we can share stories.

Hey GloryB… you’re in Cali. Very coo. Hailing from SF, Bay Area.

Yes, I moved here two years ago from upper Minnesota; I am from Chicago originally.

Is the only way to disable the denoiser through Max? I don’t see anything in Vantage.

Just uncheck it in the render dialogue window when you’re saving your stills.
