The fact that the scenes looked visibly different between engines in some of the renders has me concerned. Does that mean some engines aren't doing unbiased rendering? Because with unbiased rendering, you should always end up with identical looking scenes eventually if you crank up the sample count high enough. I know Cycles is supposed to be unbiased (except that it has a bounce limit, but it's very high by default I believe). This wasn't addressed much in the video outside of some subjective remarks.
@@AaronRotenberg I'd like to point out that even unbiased render engine are biased in some manner, they are faking reality. They just do it very well, and to do so, they all use different code, somehow comparable, but different. Therefore the fact that you end up with differente result doesn't mean an engine is "less unbiased". Because even unbiased render engines are just simulations of reality.

Although you did test various engines for 2 years, you spent most of the video explaining why it is debatable, what should be taken into account and the choices you made. This complexity, humility and the inherent self-criticism is what makes this video brilliant.

I have been loathe to subscribe to any more channels for years now, but after just showing what you went through to design your tests, you obviously deserve it
Speed is by far the most important indeed. I've worked on client work at home.. the difference between a week of rendering, and a day.. means i spend 6 days quality improvement, which will yield better result in the end. Of course, a render engine has its limitation. But if you get 90% quality at half the time.. i'll take that more than 100% quality.
@@ExacoMvm Renderman 24 for Blender 2.92 is out. You need to download the renderer from Renderman website and the plug in from Github. Just be aware that is for 2.92 and it works, but not in 2.93, you can't even install the plug in. For that you have to wait for Renderman 24.1
Vray Gpu + CPU does exist since 2018. Even better with V-Ray that can out of the box render a single image using all cpus and gpus together from all machines in a farm.
in fairness, I haven't tried XPU, but can say when I tested Renderman last year it was about 2x SLOWER than another render engine I use all the time that was created and not updated since 2008. Renderman was painfully slow.
@@3DCGdesign that's because renderman always favors quality over speed. But that has changed with xpu, like it's really fast, and I say it's on par with Octane in term of speed while retaining the image quality we all love about renderman,andwe all know Octane takes the top in term of speed. Still though the current version of renderman bridge for blender is no where perfect, lots of missing features or unexplained like the lack of udim support, but it does work .
Considering Cycles X is in its ALPHA stage, and it being at higher levels compared to the other render engines is extremely promising. It really just makes you wonder how much faster it could be in its final stages and for it to be a free render engine too!
Being in Alpha doesn't mean it's only gonna get better in terms of performance unfortunately. The algorithms/technology that make it better than regular cycles are already there, so it's core is not gonna improve. Right now they are mainly making it stable, solving bugs and adding support to volumetrics. So yes, it could get better by solving some bugs that hold it back, but also worse in order to fix other harmful bugs.
@@facuigua12 what i dont get is why don't they take a look at e-cycles optimizations and see what could be implemented without stomping on the devs work. (
@@Evandroworks I'm pretty sure E-Cycles is using a few approximations in order to render faster, that means it's no longer an unbiased renderer. Maybe the devs want to stay away from that, little changes like those can make or break realism
@@facuigua12 maybe but i mean it doesn't even support volumetric yet so they probably are still going to make changes that will probably help the speed a little.
Beautifully explained video. Best part of the video was Károly's appearance. I saw a paper a few weeks back that showed promising results on caustics and cuts down render times quite a bit while still looking true to life. A few papers down the line and we might get ultra realistic renders on just about any render engine. Also seeing the performance of Cycles X makes it a promising future for Blender, 🤞for good volumetric times.
@@sleepdeep305 Blinn's law states that with improved performance comes unchanging render times as you can make more complex and beautiful art with less time. The claim is that people with 3090s don't care how long a render takes, but I'll just let you know, as a 3090 owner, that you use those time-savings to improve the end product. The information in the video is still absolutely relevant, regardless of the hardware you're running.
One of the best renderer comparison videos! From my experience, I'd say Vray is the clear winner since it's been getting better in the latest versions and has improved it's weaknesses like volumetrics. Corona's visual quality results are amazing out of the box but the IPR in Vray with direct manipulation of the scene in the viewport is a game changer for me.
Im just gonna say this... it doesnt matter if i know the subject you are talking about or not, whether or not i already know how to do it, i still watch as many vids as i can because your level of experience and entertainment value and demeanor makes these vids invaluable.
The thing about redshift (which I use for work) is although it's fast, it's by far the worst looking render engine I've tried. I use Corona at home and the difference is remarkable.
This was such a fascinating video. Really amazing to see a real and thorough bench mark on all these renderers. Also, seeing TMP show up in the latter half was so fun! Great work!
Question! Still watching, but at 4:28 it says Arnold only works on the CPU - it does have GPU support (at least in Maya) and in my experience is far more accurate, more reliable, and MUCH faster than CPU rendering. Crossing my fingers that this is a typo as I keep watching; I'm going to be so bummed if Arnold's GPU testing isn't included!!
I'm currently working on Pixar's Renderman and it would have been cool to see the results of your tests on it too, but with all the informations you provided on the others I can already compare a bit with what I use now. Great video, thanks a lot !
LuxCore user (and liked the video) but there were a few simple points that didn't even meet the simplified standard this comparison used: - If Redshift/Vray had secondary solvers used than PhotonGI should be enabled for LuxCore, it's a single check box and makes huge differences to render times. - Would have liked to see LuxCore included in the CPU results just for comparison - For the Corona caustics example, it's again a single check box to enable them in LuxCore as well, an image for comparison would have been nice
Well obviously, nothing is perfect. Use what suits you, what you can afford and what you prefer. Remember it's not the tool that's makes the artist, it's how you use the tools available to you
With Cycles (and maybe Vray and Luxcore as well?) you can render with CPU+GPU simultaneously. This is a huge advantage when comparing speeds. I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention it. Apart from that really great video and superb work. Thank you!
