"simply blow away the competition."

We'll see... anyway whats their licencing policy, cause they're selling rendernode licences for $175...

quizzy · March 1st, 2007

licensing is the same as in B1. But now you can actually buy single rendernode licenses. So next time I buy another rendernode its $175 more expensive, but has Brazil render capabilities, I can live with that.

manta · March 1st, 2007

Sorry but I don't know what their licencing policy was before either, if I buy brazil 2, how many computers can I network render on, and how many can I distribute render on...

AJLynn · March 1st, 2007

They have different packages. 1 workstation plus 2 render nodes is $1200 as a package (I think this is what they used to call the Artist License) or separately a workstation is $995 and a render node is $175. A 4 render node package is $750. This is all for the "Pro" license, they also have a "Basic" - e.g., their pricing scheme is complex and you should look at it carefully if you're considering buying

It does look like quite a good piece of software, I've used a couple of the beta releases a bit but I find mental ray and Vray more compatible with my brain and if I wanted to do something like use all the fast machines in my office as a farm at night, like Maxer does, I think the pricing scheme would start to get in the way. (We're an architecture firm, not a vis firm, so I wouldn't want to go explaining why I need to spend $175 every time somebody else gets a new Core2 box...)

manta · March 1st, 2007

Ya, like if someone had like 80 computers, it would cost around $14,000 for Brazil, and less than a thousand for vray, it better be really good for that kind of a price...
Not to mention MR is free, and as far as I know has unlimited netrender with Max anyway...I think Maya and XSI still have limits with netrender...

AJLynn · March 1st, 2007

mr is unlimited for Backburner rendering and with distributed buckets you can use 8 nodes at a time (I think this is a technical limitation, not caused by licensing).

So...whatever happened to Brazil 2, anybody using it...

trino · August 29th, 2007

yeah, they realease it or not ? i heard that it would have great new features, i haven´t even see any image with brazil 2.

i've been using Brazil for about 4 years, bought the B2 upgrade last week.. I do mostily exterior shots and i've always liked Brazil's ease and look...

the downside is it seems alot of folks are not using Brazil. their forums are pretty dead...

the upside is also alot of folks are not using Brazil and you get great customer support, fast response....
