OTOY Forums

I was bored with what else to create lately so decided to install fryrender and do a comparison of speed against both render engines.
Here are the results.

This might be helpful for new users who are looking at whether to buy octane or not. This is one reason why.



Fryrender renders for 1 hour and 40 minutes using only a CPU.



Octane renders for 6 minutes using only the GPU.

If anyone is willing to, you can post your scenes you have created or downloaded from websites to compare octane and CPU renderers such as Maxwell render and Indigo render.
So better test might be more complex scenes with lots of materials and geometry.
This will be very useful when the core rendering engine as been further optimised with the new render kernel.

For the fryrender image I used a AMD Phenom II X4 940 processor which has a total of 4 cores
For the octane render images I used a GTX 470 GPU which has 448 cuda cores.

It would help if you posted the hardware that you used (e.g, the CPU used and GPU used).

And the point with this is what? Octane is not mature enough to be compared to + 5 year old unbiased cpu engines.

Actually the CPU based render was done with fryrender 1.5 which had only been released late last year so not quite old as you think.

But Fryrenderer is around since 2006 IIRC. So it is under development 5 years.
Beyond that, you posted in the "Licensed Customer Forum" how would someone not sure yet if he want´s to buy it see your post and for that matter find it helpful?

Why is everybody criticizing? I find comparisons interesting.

I think the point of the test was speed...
1 hour 40 mins in Fryrender for similar quality level in 6 mins in Octane.

As for which is in development longer, that just reinforces the point that Octane kicks ass doesn't it?
Of course, the colors in the Octane scene could be tweaked, but I don't think that was the point. We all have seen what the final product from octane renders can be.

it was compared with arion, this was a comparison I find healthier

it is about to release a new version 1.1 of arion here some days I think is not bad, with a new interface

^ looks nice, but also slow as hell.
6.5 hours for a 1024x512 (4th pic), 5 hours for 3rd pic? No thanks...
