NEWSFLASH: Maxwell is Noisy

Hey, did you guys know Maxwell was noisy? Also, it seems REALLY slow.

I did a comparison render with Bob's Raytracing Engine (bRAY):

bRay - 1 minutes, 23 seconds
Image

Maxwell - 11 seconds
Image

Look how bad the Maxwell one is! When I downloaded the torrent file for Maxwell I was so excited, but now I see that NL has LIED to us about what it can do. This is nowhere near as good as other engines which I also got off of torrentspy. Also, Maxwell is NOT unbiased, as I can clearly prove in the scientific paper I wrote for school entitled: Physically Unbiased Solutions in Rendering Which Maxwell Doesn't Do.

This is PROOF that Maxwell isn't doing anything special, and it can't be used in any production, and it isn't as good as bRAY, and NL is a scamming operation where they steal your money and never contact you, and bRay is better, and even though I hate NL I'm going to come to this forum EVERY SINGLE DAY and post about how much it sucks lol because I have no life.

Hi Mike,

There's a hidden commandline switch you never know.
Please use -nonoise to get rid of the noise.
Here's the result at just SL12 with -nonoise switch.
But Mike, it seems like there's something wrong with your scene.
What the hell Robert is doing here instead of that spaceship :shock:

tom, you've been digging in the archives lol :P

I don't know, the Maxwell version shows a certain avant-garde quality that's missing in the bRAY version. Also, I've met Bob, he's a dick.

Is that an old image from The Thunderbirds? I think I see an eye-screw for a wire on one of the wing tips. :lol:

im not going to judge any of the renderers but i think mverta did a mistake in rewriting those equations from the papers :!:

in laminar flow and turbulent flow there should be 4096 and NOT 4000

so mverta has a badly compiled rendering engine :)

tried myself with those values stated above and with -nonoise option tom mentioned above 11 secs is more than enuff to get a clean photoshot of anything u can model :D

btw: really good one - at first sight i started to dig the net for explanation, then i returned to read rest of the topic, how silly i am :oops:
