3ds Max + Arnold Photo Realistic Rendering Workflow | How I Created This Guitar...

[@georgeneverland896]

Would be great to see you working on a more complex project like an apartment where we usually have to render GI-intensive spaces to better appreciate speed differences over vray.

[@Learn-archViz]

Totally. I'd be interested in seeing side by side comparisons with that

[@marc3dartist601]

Cosmos and VFB compositing is what keep me with V-Ray. Arnold is a very very good render engines. Looks easier at first, but not really. Just using a basic Material Override is over complicated...

[@Learn-archViz]

For real! Material override is ridiculous with Arnold

[@pascalcreativedesign8790]

I've only used Arnold in both Max and Maya.

Vray doesnt cost a lot, for a professional. 3DS Max is a bigger problem (solved a bit by their indie license now). If i had to change renderer, that would be for Blender when it will be able to handle the workflow i have (importing catproduct from catia, and a good dwg importer too). But that requires to learn a whole new soft.

[@Learn-archViz]

Yeah, you're right about that. Max is the big one. Blender, IMO, would be the only solution there, but I am not sure how well Blender would handle my particular workflow either.

[@Learn-archViz]

More testing needed, as always :)

[@guitop]

@@Learn-archViz as for me now : it clearly cant. So i keep checking. Archviz doesnt seem their priority.

[@Learn-archViz]

@@guitop Definitely not. 3ds Max has always catered well specifically to archviz workflows, which is why it became widespread.

[@AntonScholtz]

it lacks speed

[@Learn-archViz]

Interesting. I should do some side by side benchmark tests. Speed with VRay and fancy new computers is rarely a big issue for me, so maybe I have just gotten used to it.

I'd love to see videos where you use particles or tyflow??? Special effects...
