redoing the wardrobes in my bedroom so did a quick render, and off to the shop
vray 1 hour on med settings, octane 10 minutes has fireflies but when you print it out on a plain paper it doesn't show much and at least its usable, left another vray cooking for 8 hours now overnight.. just used a hq preset - that's useless
anyway here's quick comparison

There is only one thing that I can say. If you don't know how to use v-ray - just don't use it. We don't need holy war "octane vs v-ray" here.

Throw me to the stage I test the better, the atoms in your manifest errors of Vray settings, but the archives do with the materials

sorry for my english

it took me like an hour or so for this so keep that in mind, when you want something real fast and don't have time to set up much..
well, vray is great looking and has great materials but still, I started playing with it at about the same time I started using octane.. so this is a realistic situation, and someone asked for a comparison of vray and octane, it's more for test purposes, and I guess everyone likes octane more for its speed..
Yes I used the default settings in vray and said its a quick test, so keep that in mind..
Vray uses a single area light with shadows, and since I didn't want to test all the functions of vray I just used the default presets which said something like high quality medium and so on.. I also used default octane settings (there aren't any - everything is default) and took me far less time to set up a quick render shot which I needed for it...
It's just to rub in the fact that octane is far simpler to use and easier to set up and gets similar or better results in less time with a far lower learning curve

Vray does have it's share of learning curve. But well, if this was a realistic situation, my guess is, you'd be expected to know Vray a tad better.

There's no point in comparing two such different pieces of software. Spectral unbiased octane and biased vray which requires experience. I did my own comparison and here it is. no comments though as octane isn't complete yet each one adds its own tone to the whole atmosphere, so in the end of the day it's a totally personal perspective about which looks better

Yes, your vray looks way better than octane one (and mine for that matter), nicely warm ..
did you play with the camera response, I set mine usually at FCICD or dscs315_1 looks much warmer than the default agfacolor, also saturation and vignetting.. that's what gives me warmer images..
anyways, yeah vray is much crisper.. still how much time did you spend tweaking materials lights and render settings on vray and how much on octane,
well I am going to use octane for everything now, since it's the first render package that gives me really intuitive workflow, and the results can be average but with realistic lighting or just amazing, and I'm loving the fact I can see what is going to happen in less than a minute and then just let it cook, everything else seems so bloody slow, I started testing fryrender and maxwell and got nowhere really really really slow...
Hey what's with that vray RT thing, is that thing working at all by now, that would be a fair comparison.
theese look warm

Hi vagos21 and all.

Nice trick with the smal red carpet and sunlight.

ha ha ha... This is funny the comparison betwen Octane and other renderers.

regards

hi there.
about the bedroom scene comparison.the octane render is far more realistic then the V-ray ,look at the V-ray artifacts where
the wall meets the ceiling , and the over saturation . i dont know what you guys are looking at but if the octane scene
would have been cooked a bit longer it would be better in any aspect.
cheers

I think he under did it on purpose come on you can do it better than that, it is generally a warmer image, but you can achieve that with photoshop and vibrance and saturation..
And yes it looks like the small red carpet and sun bouncing off it gave it that orangey glow..
still, it is a good vray render, octane has no antialiasing and there is not much bump on the floor so the specularity is not affected much hence the plastic look of the laminated floor, you can achieve some blurry reflections with nice and dirty normal maps
