Thea Render

[Rikk The Gaijin]

Does anybody ever tried this one?
It seems similar to Octane in terms of quality, I wonder how it performs in terms of speed.

nice features
it uses several kernels, it' like to have vray and octane together.

regarding the gpu based rendering engines today it's really difficult to surpass the Octane quality.

for biased renders vray is the best tool on the market.

iray, vray-rt and Live (Arion) have some interesting feature that is possible to implement in Octane.

I've seen thea in use from some artist a while ago =) this Presto release based on cuda seems very interesting, but at least for me even the demo is not so much of a jaw dropping. well it's a tool & it would be interesting to try it =) do they have demo /I don't find a ny info 'bout it/?

Thea Presto sounds good (some forumer have said that it performs slower than octane, but have the possibility to network render). I'm waiting for redshift also, it's bias render but just enough for many scene.
