ive been playing with maxwell and 3ds demo and is looking really great... so easy to setup a great render... but i guess not a lot that cant be done in mental ray... tho its early days... i do appreciate your views...
EIAS...nice arch viz again... some other stuff there but nothing i havent seen in other apps... (i mean that in a nice way)... 
what a bout fryrender... lookin cool... any experience with this.. i know its new..
wih modo 301 soon out, things are looking better... i love the render quality of modo, and now with basic animation coming...
im still not sure about EIAS... the demo left me cold.. the interface was not condusive to my creation pathway.. I do appreciate it seems to have a great render engine...what is the future of EIAS...and no modelling (tho i use hex and silo and soon xsi FND and not forgetting carrara...)
just a few thoughts...
thanks for you input... |
Modo is nice. Though I'm not happy with how optimized it is for modeling. The interface, as great as it is, seems to hog resources. I can get triple the polycount in Silo that I can in Modo. I was planning on purchasing Modo myself, but due to finances had to delay it. And I've come to the conclusion that I won't be purchasing it period.
Remember that EIAS includes Silo. If you have interest or own Lightwave, you might consider Kray. Its a super fast GI renderer. Find it here:

I've seen some incredible renders in Kray and its rendering speed is impressive.
