renderers - vray vs. mental vs. brazil

mskin · June 21st, 2005

can anyone give me some quick info on vray vs. mental ray? is it much better than mental ray? how about brazil?

It's more a matte rof taste, but I like Vray for interiors and Brazil for exteriors. I hate Mental Ray so I don't use it except at work where they have a renderfarm setup. but if it was my choice instead of managment, I would have gone with Vray...

i've seen amazing results with all three programs, but VRAY is the easiest to learn and it's quick too.

I fully agree with Ihab. Vray for interior because of the great lightbounces and sharp AA, Brazil for the rest of the jobs (outdoor, product/furniture viz etc). Mental ray is maybe overall the best renderer but is hard to understand for someone who like to learn things overnight. I see the greatest works done with Mental ray but also the worst because of the lack of 'mental-skills'...
