It is reverse engineered with every new version. Every new version brings the danger that for example FBX breaks. On top of that, Blender did and does not integrate well into pipelines. And all your old data would be not longer available then. Since switching itself costs money time and energy already. You switch for improvements, not for a nice logo. Not even when Blender would be at the same level. And the studios have still no reason to switch. The only reason it’s not everywhere is because many studios have built their own pipelines since 2008 that’s just not worth changing out at the moment. Or Eevee when you want to work in Blender. V-Ray RT or D5 for example in case you want to stay in Max( switching the platforms means you need to learn lots of new things). And nowadays i would even recommend a realtime Renderer. I would suggest a renderer like Pixar’s Renderman instead, which is optimized for movies. A biased renderer is usually much faster than an unbiased one.īut V-Ray is still no good choice for animation. And don’t fire just rays into the scene at good luck. Biased means that you do some guided calculation. But let’s for this moment just talk about the biased offline version. There is also a realtime version of it around. V-Ray is a so called biased offline renderer. The same image with a realtime renderer can render in a fraction of a second. But nowadays you can at least compensate the noise part with a denoiser. Unbiased renderers are usually the worst choice then. What always made me scratch my head is that Cycles aims at animation. And unbiased means accurate, noisy and slow. Inofficially it uses some guidance, which makes it imho in fact to a biased renderer. And it is officially a unbiased renderer. Everything needed is calculated instead of faked. To make it look good is your job then.Ĭycles is a so called offline renderer. Like Normalmaps instead of real geometry, faked caustics, prebaked shadows, and so on And it does not aim to be physical correct.

And it uses tricks to achieve this speed. Games uses realtime rendering for that reason. The primary goal of realtime renderers is speed. Since things like materials and lighting are fundamental different between Cylces and Eevee.Įevee is a realtime renderer. So one word to the renderers since you struggle with the choice of your render engine. And V-Ray and Eevee is apples with oranges.

As Jordan pointed out, it’s 90% the artist.
