What can Arion do in 10 minutes?

This image was saved from Arion, locking the framebuffer at 800x420 for 10 minutes exactly. The machine used was a single Core i7 with a GeForce 285 GTX. No resampling or post-processing were made whatsoever, so this is, literally, raw 1:1 Arion output. Pay special attention to the automatic high-quality Anti-Alias and the overall artifact-free quality.

Rendered in Arion using a single Core i7 + GeForce 285 GTX -- Resolution: 800x420 -- Rendertime: 10 min

This is for all the Random control developers who reads Octane forum every day at coffee time (and I know they will read this) :lol:
I hope Arion gonna be under 400$ per license, or I will need to forget about buying my new rig and use my laptop instead
This is straight no post-processing or whatsoever, so this is, literally, raw 1:1 copy paste of what is written in Arion homepage.
Pay special attention to the automatic high-quality Caustic humour and the overall fun of this topic.

Forget about my money refractive software, im gonna buy Arion in like 6 months and render empty unbiased classrooms myself !
Im out laughing hard sorry :arrow: :mrgreen:

an empty classroom with grey walls in 10 minutes, this is too much for me my mind is blown
Seriously look at the sky behind the windows, its so beautifull, its like physically based winter blizzard, its all unbiased pure smooth white
Radiance delete this topic if its too much for you, if you can't handle the strong competition hehehe
Im crying a little bit now, I couldn't resist writing this topic

Wow I render at more than double the resolution posted above with a Core 2 Quad 3.0 & GT240 in Octane so not really impressive, especially with as Chris mentioned above clearly visible noise in Arion. Not saying Arion doesn't look good but you can't judge the results of Octane based on the limited featured beta release. :D

Yeah, at least "there's" a beta release, and even a demo :lol:
I made this topic just for fun... Im not judging Arion because well... I can't judge on videos ;)

anyone got that model for performance comparison. Only way to know then. I don't see any fire flies :0).

It's not a bad render even with the noise... just the performance aint exactly super fast. Then again does anyone know the complexity of the model and all effects applied to materials. How many bounces? etc it all adds to the time of the render.

The only thing going for it is the distributed rendering. With 7 gpu x 10 pc setup that would work wonders.

Will octane support distributed rendering.
Will octane support integration into 8 3d appz.

Pro's and cons of both packages really. (unbiased view, no pun intended) haha

We all have to wait and see

I'd wait before you do any comparisons.
Comparing octane against a rendertime given on a 'marketing page' would'nt be fair.

Yeah

let's wait for full versions and exact same scenes to make valid benchmarks.

Some tend to draw quick conclusions, whereas they just mix up noise and texture/bump maps.

Cheers

I've tried this very same scene on Octae, sadly it crashes it.. :(

that's strange, many have rendered it with Octane and posted images on this forum of that scene...

Well I got this scene, exported from blender to obj and it crashes no matter what... :(
