Will there be any support for light portals in Octane? I think we still get a lot of noise in interior scenes. (at least I do )
I'll be honest here. I am recently testing unbiased renderers. I never realy liked Maxwell. I believe there is too much for what it does and it's realy slow. Fryrender seems a bit faster and seems to be OK (don't know about Arion). Thea is a nice product and has a nice material editor.It's level of control inside the app is what I like the most in Thea.
Now, LuxRender has maybe the easiest way on materials, but it's terribly slow. The one I like the most seems to be Indigo. Easy materials and quite fast for non GPU. And by using portals its quite noiseless. But what I like in indigo is the distribution of light. A render seems to be more physical accurate than all the previous ones. I am no expert in such things, I am just saying what I see.
Of course it's needless to say that Octane is my favorite for speed, for price, for materials ease, but I am just comparing test renders here and trying to find what makes the Indigo renders seem a bit more accurate to me.
What do you think?
