I’ve tried several engine (Maxwell, Redshift, Luxcore, Mantra/Karma, Octane, bella render, Arnold, Clarisse, Indigo, guerilla render, 3Delight and E-Cycles) most of the time superficially but sometimes a bit more in depth.

Recently for a personal “motion design” short film i’ve been looking for the best renderer for myself. My current tools are mainly Houdini, Blender and 3DCoat. If you use V-Ray with 3ds max, all settings will look familiar and may encourage you to try Blender as your modeling tool for architectural visualization.I am a french artist ( ) and i’ve been working with 3D for decades and using Blender since 2 years. Since the artist shares the settings to render the scene using V-Ray Irradiance Map, Image Sampler and Light Cache it may be useful for anyone looking to use V-Ray with Blender. There is only one single render from the project.

Take a look at this interior image posted at the Blenderartists forums. The good news is that Blender has a version of V-Ray supported by Chaos Group.ĭo you want to take a look at a project that uses both Blender and V-Ray? The reasons for that may go from maintaining existing knowledge about the software and the use of previous assets. But, even with Cycles offering an incredible set of tools to create architectural renderings, some artists still want to keep part of their old workflow.įor instance, some artists used to work with 3ds max and V-Ray would love to replace 3ds max, but keep V-Ray as their primary renderer.

The recent developments of Blender and Cycles are catching the attention of more artists willing to move to Blender as their primary tool for architectural visualization.
