I knew right at the start this could get ugly as each of these tools has its vested interest followers (and their first comment would always be “If you know what I know then this render would look so much better…”), I will be taking pains to make the test seem as fair and balanced as possible. The final instalment of this will end up eventually in my Frequently Asked Questions section. In order to showcase what each of these renderers can do in one place, and to help my colleagues and students make a more informed decision on which rendering tool to pick, I decided to do my own comparative test run of each software. Now, one year on, there are several renderers vying for the Rhino/MatrixGold user market, and online forums have become very…animated over which renderers are the best value for money. When Rhino moved to Rhino 6 in mid-2019, and Gemvision switched from Matrix to MatrixGold (and notoriously replaced V-Ray with Cycles for Rhino), we now have quite an upheaval in the rendering software and plug-in market for Rhino and MatrixGold users. What is the Purpose of this CAD Rendering Comparison Test? (Update 21/1/21: I’ve added the render settings I used, as well as whether the render was done with CPU, GPU, or CUDA.) (Update 22/3/21: Some corrections to information on Thea Render, and V-Ray licensing options.) Introducing my Rhino 3D CAD Rendering Comparison Test!
For the new year, I’ve taken on a big project to help the jewellery CAD community.
