Child toy

[andrian]

Hi guys, here is a render I have done for testing Octane interior abilities and speed. Room is modeled for this test, the toy used is from evermotion.
This is part of my internal render engine testing, witch for now Octane is leading quite A LOT... ( Vray, Vray RT, Maxwell Render, Fry Render, Arion, MentalRay and Octane )

Resolution 1680x1050 , pathtracing at 8, AA (filtering) ON. render time 13.12 minutes.

Overall time used to create materials, setting the lightning, including time for rendering this, was no more that 30 minutes..
For those who interested I can provide RAW rendered image.., just to see the image without the post used.

So the Evermotion scene came with a buged mesh alignment? Or did you move the orange wheele in focus into the track so they intersect on purpose? ( and why did you do that if that is the case )

Yeah, the object was bugged... I left it that way, it was not the main subject, scene was build for the render test..

Demand all your money back and sue them

I just realized that we both joined the forum on the 16th in 2 different months..Im typing this on the 16th as well, crazy world.

and you got to be kidding me..we both joined at some hour and 48 minutes...
So in my world :
you join 16th
I join 16th
We communicate the 16th

16+16+16 = 48

crazy..

Naah, I'll let it bee..

Yeah , I saw that too. Crazy coincidence. It's a universe stuff

Hi!

I'm new at this forum and at this render engine and I'd like that you confirm whether you have a GTX260 graphics card and its performance.

Do you say Octane render is faster than Arion render?

How much faster was Arion with the same scene? Could you make a capture of the rendered image for the same time to see how much clean was left?

I don't know whether buying a GTS250 or a GTX260 and how I don't know how to send you a PM I've decided to write you through this thread...

Could you e-mail me to: [email protected] or contact to me via messenger to the same e-mail direction: [email protected]?.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

The card I was used in this test was GTX480.
Arion was reaching 2 megasamples/sec with one cpu enabled and Octane reaches 3 MS/sec.
Memory footprint in Arion was 250MB for GPU and 300 for CPU, and in Octane was 100MB.
Here is a crop of the Arion render:

The goal for this test was to make an interior scene, simple one and to see how different render engines deal with it.
Maxwell render and FryRender have not reached any decent image samples. They was way noisy. There are quite a bit tricks and cheats to make a scene like this to render with CPU based unbiased render engines like maxwell and FRY, but that's was no the goal..
Vray in the other hand had the cleanest render that can be best compared to Octane's image, but the render time for that passes the 2 hours, BF+LC - Vlado's universal settings.
And here is a crop of the Vray Image:

I do NOT recommend at this point to buy GF 200 series, as there is coming GTX 460 with 2GB ram (best choice so far) or any other Fermi based card. Search the forum and you will find the post about it.

I don't have money enough for buying a GTX400 series a friend of mine has told to me that the GTX260 has twice the power calculation of the GTS250.

I thinking about the heat and elevated temperature of a GTX260 in my conventional PC...I don't know if I should invest in another fan, but my PC box doesn't have space for it...Mmm...I'm doubtous...But the possibility of having an improvement in my capabilities respect to my AMD k8 Athlon 3800+ X2 at 2'2Ghz...Maybe the double if I buy the GTX260.

How much do you think I experiment in terms of speed up?.

I know this is a hardware question and not a software question...I didn't find the thread related to this I'm asking about the different render engines and hardware good to be bought.

Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure about the 250, but the 260 was rendering fine in my system with just one side fan in the box, no heat problems there, it's pretty quiet and efficient, something I'm afraid I can't say about my 470, althou it rocks at render time. Now I got an extra fan for both of them, and when I use both of them at render time, temperatures are stable, of course the 470 "stable" temp is 90º, and the 260 about 70º. I could cook all my meals inside the box.
