      What is the best render to use in OS X?
      Just recently convertet to OS X and don't want to switch over to XP to use V-Ray all the time I want to render something...
      So what render is best for me? I am looking for something as good as V-Ray and not to difficult to use.

      Thanks in advance for the replies...

        Hei Henrik,

        Unfortunately there isn't many render applications available for Mac...
        But from the list available for OS X, I obviously would recommend Kerkythea... 😉

        Cheers

            You should also add the Thea Render homepage and Thea Render Forum... 😉

              i would not venture to state which one is the best (what is best for me is not necessarily best for you), but the following apps definitely run on mac os x:
              cheetah
              podium
              kerkythea
              artlantis
              lightup
              idx renditioner
              vray (coming soon)

                  I wouldnt neccessarily say that iClone is a rendering program. Its a 3D animation program, I know because I make props for their movies (with sketchup). Here is one of my own short animations http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbmAvdIATiE (sketchup model).

                  Its useful (ish) as a rendering software though the results tend to vary.


                  iClone Sketchup render

                  If in doubt... DO it!

                          It would be nice if each renderer entry showed whether or not it's free.

                            Hi guys!
                            I suggest you change the price under "Fryrender": at the moment it's 795€, not 395€.
                            This could be misleading.

                                That looks ace 😲 Im sure that'll have a lot of people clamouring.

                                    Here's one that's missing

                                    The new Octane Render (fully interactive, node based, unbiased render on GPU, 15x faster than CPU unbiased renderers)
                                    99 euros, free demo, Windows / Linux / OSX

                                    Currently supporting OBJ only
                                    WILL SUPPORT COLLADA SOON 😍 WOOP

                                    And animation also 😄

                                      Not posted I guess! 😉

                                      favicon

                                      (keyshot.com)

                                      The main highlight will probably be the introduction of new V2 or Keyshot2 version which is still under Beta.
                                      Even for new Shots, with lots of new feature, and I heard there will be unbiased preset as well.
                                      So pretty interesting 😄

                                        OCtane render. Unbias and runs over GPU. Can smoke Maxwell and Fryrender to dust. 😍

                                          Hi guys, Have any of you used Shaderlight? Just found a beta on their
                                          website after seeing some world cup stadium renders in the gallery and
                                          was wondering if anyone has given it a go.

                                            I have seen no mention of :

                                            mitsuba renderer, those interested might want to head over to http://www.mitsuba-renderer.org/.
