Re: Unity vs 3Ds Max - Render times and noise

Hi Xhed, although not the answer I was hoping for, thank you for at least acknowledging the problem. I guess there's nothing to be done but wait to see what further developments may bring.

Re: Unity vs 3Ds Max - Render times and noise

Problem persists in Unity 2018.1. The issue still seems to be that rendering gets slower the more objects are in the scene.

I have the same scene in 3Ds Max and Unity, with the following samples per second (average):

3ds Max: 14.47 million

Unity (separate objects): 8.85 million
Unity (batched in ...

Re: Unity vs 3Ds Max - Render times and noise

Problem still persists in 1.1.0.1245 - same behaviour exhibited.

Please Otoy, can we have a discussion about this?

Re: Unity vs 3Ds Max - Render times and noise

Bump - can anyone from Otoy please advise. I can only imagine this is something that will impact many people's ability to use Octane in Unity.

I hate to be that person, but I run a studio with 20 licenses of Unity Pro, with our plan to also eventually have 20 licenses of OctaneRender Creator. In ...

Re: Unity vs 3Ds Max - Render times and noise

Bumping so that this topic doesn't drift away.

Further reinforcing these tests, now that Octane will render in Play mode, I can easily see the issue by toggling the gameobjects to be batching static or not.

Non-static (batches: 63): 5min 15sec
Static (batches: 5): 3min 45sec
Again, I need to ...

Re: Unity vs 3Ds Max - Render times and noise

Hi Goldorak, sorry for the late reply. I have a subscription to OctaneRender Studio, however the tests I am running are on a single GPU - an Alienware with a GTX1080. I have confirmed that Octane is using the correct GPU.

As evidenced by my tests a few weeks ago, the issue is due to the amount of ...

Re: Unity vs 3Ds Max - Render times and noise

Okay, another update...

I went back into the 3Ds Max file and combined all geometry into one object. I exported this as a new FBX file and imported into Unity.

It was beyond the 65k threshold so Unity split it into 2 objects, but even then Octane rendered it in 3:09.

This indicates the issue is ...

Re: Unity vs 3Ds Max - Render times and noise

Okay thanks everyone for the replies, I have conducted more tests and the error persists in Unity when using geometry. This is what I did:

Setup Scene

3Ds Max scene, with 1 Octane Daylight. Glossy material on everything. Rendered in 2:43. I exported both an ORBX and an FBX from 3Ds Max.

Re: Unity vs 3Ds Max - Render times and noise

Hi Paride4331, I'll have to check and see if I can upload the files themselves - they are from a client project.

I switched off the emitting lights in both scenes and left only the daylight in, and the time and noise difference was still significant, so I don't believe the lights are the problem. I ...

Unity vs 3Ds Max - Render times and noise

Hi Otoy,

I'm trying to understand why I'm getting a difference in noise levels and render times between 3Ds Max and Unity.

I have a simple scene in Unity that I exported to 3Ds Max (using Unity's new FBX tools in 2017.2). In both programs I did the following:

1) Create a simple Glossy material ...
