Hi,

Could we get an a-team perspective on these? They seem to have different light dispersions, anybody know which is best?!

The busy ray seems to have very clear glass in its pic frame, does this mean they have solved our famous caustics problem!

[numerobis]

...they have no caustics problem cause BusyRay doesn't support caustics (at the moment) >> http://www.busyray.com/specs.htm

[acquiesse]

Ah ha!

Now that is cunning, i'm amazed at how good the render looks without it...

[Miles]

BusyRay, Indigo and Kerkythea all seem to have problems with the pepper grinder, or whatever it is...

[markps]

We will also make the tests with different system of calculation, if they are present in the program.

Time employed for the tests (20 minutes)
Used PC (amd dual opteron 265 - 4g ram - xp 32)

Thank you for your interesting test.

It seems to be you have forget the reflection environment for Vray.

Could you write something about the main parameters of each renderer. Not material, but GI stuff.
