Just practicing a little of hard modeling and product shots this weekend. This is a free interpretation of classic Peter Behrens' fan based in some different products.

These are the raw renders, about 8000s/px, 40min each.

Is it possible to make a motion blurred shot of the propellers? It's ...

Just trying Cycles today. My first impression was it has a very impressive speed, as fast as Octane, then I just saw I was using CPU only, I change to GPU and... twice faster... and pure real time PATH tracing on the blender 3d view, no F12, no time lost on import-export.
Of course it's still very ...

Very nice!

I would be willing to PAY for a totally integrated and supported exporter. It really makes THAT difference in the workflow, much more than new features in the renderer itself.

Render an animation with the power and speed Octane already have without exporting each frame would be a dream.

It's indeed unfair and ugly from Brecht part if all these charges are true. Did he really left RS and broke his contract like that?

But one never knows. I'd like to hear some official pronouncement from the parts.

I heard the same accusations on Radiance when he left Lux development. I know it's ...

Very sad discussion.

What about this: http://vimeo.com/14290797 ???

We should say that Octane is based on SLG?

There are a lot of open sources for GPU rendering available for looong time it's nothing new.
Any legal problems with the blender community will be a big shot in the feet ...
