Short Film test - Arnold vs Octane by Alan Jonathan Iriarte

[ALANCGSENIOR]

This is a picture of my film . Impossible to perform with a single PC if you do everything short arnold rendering engine .

Cool scene.

There something amuck with this comparison though. An AMD 8-core vs a Titan Z isn't exactly on the same level. Also, the two scenes aren't exactly the same, not sure why. The tree leaves are solid in Octane but appear to have opacity maps in Arnold, which slows the render considerably. Also, do you have a screen grab of the sampling settings in Arnold? How optimized is the scene? Same thing with Octane. Noise-free in 4+ min? Seems almost too good to be true.

I'm all for comparisons, especially when it's a cool render, but something here doesn't add up at face value.

the sun why not the same?

This is the most useless comparison of renderengines i have ever seen!

But the scene itself ist nice

Hi

I really like your scene and I think compare a render engine is for me impossible when is coming in CPU or GPU but is my point the view and I respect yours.(I don't want be rude but some times people are and don't realize),

If for you is definitely a big change in your rig (machine) and I find really nice the Octane scene shame the tree and extra details on the grass is not there look like you use displacement at Octane but hair at Arnold (I don't know ) you could use hair at Octane to.

But Again well done. Once again Octane. Happy for it.

+1

Great scene! But the lighting is different on both (shadows, highlights, reflections etc.) so it's a really bad example for a comparison. The building facades, windows, roof tiles, vegetation and water tanks look way better in the arnold render. Only the mailbox, bike and car tires better in octane one. Why is the vegetation displacement in octane?

You could always upload your scene files to a renderfarm for quicker turnarounds if you don't own one yourself But you should be able to achieve the same quality in octane if you tinker more with the lighting and settings.

I can set up the same way they would not be distinguishable
the sun is necessary to expose the size of 3.0, it blurs the edges of the shadow in Arnold
Material vegetation poorly configured SSS

isn't that the point of doing a comparison like this? you want both images to turn out as close as possible so you can compare time it takes to get the same results?

Also the Arnold frame has a lot more geo than the octane frame. I'm seeing more shrubs in the fore ground, flowers in the flower boxes on each house... a ton of birds or something in the right field...

Not a super helpful comparison.
