Bhojan Gundella renders
More fooling with stud.io 2.0, this time with no weathering and thought for how long the process took. Also, I have done ZERO editing beyond a simple crop to get them to fit neatly into the collage. All were rendered at 1080 with the camera in as close to the same position as I could get it, so I feel like this is a very fair comparison.
I don't know about you, but I can't really see a meaningful difference between high and medium, but the amount of time spent was considerably longer for the high. For my money, POVray is useless. Even with the quick render time, I can't imagine using it again - when I'm in a hurry to show something off, I'll just take a screenshot.
I may be stealing my own thunder here but unveiling the Gundella in a render test, but here it is anyway! I've got a few more of these in various stages of development, and now that I can render them in such stunning detail, they'll probably progress much faster.
What do you think? Is photorealistic rendering a dumb gimmick that's not worth the time, or a great opportunity for digital builders to get some deserved attention because people don't realize they're renders immediately? Or something else I haven't thought of?
