More entries arrived, please check the first page for the current table. Mental Ray, Modo, Renderman and some others are still missing...

i think i'd have to light a match if something like that came out of my computer...

Sure, the frosteds in fryrender are a work in progress, but they aren't that bad. I don't recognize that contributor as a customer. If he was a licensed fryrender user, he could have come on the forum and asked for help. But that didn't happen. I wonder why? If he owned a license of fryrender, surely he would want his investment to work as well as possible. Things that make you wonder...

[tom]

Don't worry. Because, the challange is open to all the community and I'm immediately updating the table. So, one of you guys/gals can still submit a correct one. Actually, I've thought there are some good fry users here and don't know why nobody is willing to contribute.

I cannot see the comparison table. The image seems to be corrupted - message from FF:

I can see it here on FF.

Thank you Tom, now I have the image.

Meanwhile:

Hi,

You will have to wait until we have a frosted glass material option.
The bump map solution is very hackish and is not efficient at all.

It won't be long before we have roughness on the specular material, it's on our high-priority list.

No but it looks like Arion for the win so far

[Half Life]

Thea seems to have the second best (behind Maxwell)... everyone else has some flaw or another that keeps it from looking right.

Vray comes across as plastic rather than glass.
Mental Ray looks like some sort of silicone gel.
Indigo seems a little too smooth and transmissive and the shadow/caustics don't seem right.
Mantra looks plastic, very much like V-ray.
Fry is some unknown substance... and not a very attractive one at that.
Lux is way too transmissive and "plasticy".
And Arion seems to be a semi-decent material but somethings wrong with the camera/perspective.

All of those could be user error, but there do seem to be some trends forming.

Best,
Jason.

This is a contest to see which can reproduce the material or the camera/perspective?

[Bubbaloo]

Not a contest. A challenge.

I find the results very interesting so far. Of course there are no conclusions posted, that's up to each individual. Some may like the Fried render.
