Unbiased Renderers

Is anyone aware if a comparision chart between Maxwell, Fry and Indigo exists?
It would be interesting to see them stacked up against eachother in terms of ease of use, time for completion of render, quality of rendered materials and accuracy of solution.

Cheers,

Theres lot's of comparison between them. For example here's small comparison of speed&quality. http://www.indigorenderer.com/joomla/fo ... php?t=3478 Just google it and you find more of these comparisons.

I've done you a render quality chart:

1. Maxwell Render.
2. Fry Render.
3.Indigo.

I have been using nothing but Maxwell Render and Vray for the past 2 years and since Vray frustates me at the best of times Maxwell is the only choice that leaves me wanting to make the next render. I have had very little knowledge of the other unbiased renders available prior to this post. Cheers for all your help...:)

Maxwell is not the only solution, let's be fair about this... Maybe it's the best, but not the only one.

Watch the pool water.... Also with lights... Not always easy to do with Maxwell.

Yeah, Indigo seems to have done some optimizations about sun caustics.

This was posted in the Radium forum:
