Good comparison, I shall remember that :) Arnold vs Mental Ray, the battle wages on.
Does 3Delight require shader dev or can a small to individual get what needs to be done fast. Everyone doesn't use Arnold, some are able to get there hands on it for whatever reason, excluding illegal methods. If I need to walk the streets to find a shader dev for 3Delight then it not worth my time. ::Christopher Alan Fregtman wrote: > I haven't tried 3Delight, but Arnold is **way** too good.
