      I have seen no mention of :

      Guess you didn't make a search then...
      You can see it mentioned in the Extensions & Applications Discussions section in the Mitsuba Physically Based Render...

      Reason why you don't see it in this list is most likely because there's no exporters developed between Mitsuba render and SU... 😐

      I'm pretty sure mitsuba extensively uses the collada format for its scene intake, which I would call support for sketchup, wouldn't you? Plus it's fast becoming popular.

          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 πŸ˜„

          http://www.refractivesoftware.com/

          downloaded the Demo .. No CUDA device found .. so it will only run on Nvidia based G-cards πŸ˜„

            Actually to be a complete geek, mental ray is actually not an Autodesk product but a "mental images" product who is owned by Nvidia. Autodesk only bundle mental ray into their apps.

                  @ledisnomad, Little correction related to Thea Render, it has both biased and unbiased engines and also does work as a interactive renderer.

                      This is a very helpful list. If I could, I think I'd buy VRay, Vue, Maxwell, and Lumion so I would have speed, natural landscapes, unbiased realism, and animations respectively. But I can't afford all that.

                      There's always a lot of debate over the best renderer for a certain set of critera. Would it be possible and desired to create a robust spreadsheet of these renderers to compare their features, benefits, and best uses? I've started a very simple one and will attach it. What would be the best way to allow people to collaborate on filling in the blanks and adding more information?

                        Here's a slight update for Maxwell with maybe a few more interesting comparative categories.

                              Google Docs is very good at document collaboration - including spreadsheets.

                                      Gaieus,thanks for sharing. We're trying to use more software to create 3d renderings beside 3ds max and vray.

                                        Hi All,
                                        We just released the first beta of FluidRay RT, our new real-time global illumination renderer.
                                        You can check it out at http://www.fluidray.com
                                        It's real-time, but you don't need a fancy GPU with tons of video RAM. It mostly uses the CPU and the system's main RAM.
                                        All comments are welcome!

                                        Regards,

                                        Nicola

                                          How Much $$$??? To take the time to evaluate a product, might be nice to know if it's 100 or 1,000.
                                          Or did I miss something on the site?

                                            I am new today to rendering, which I'm using to see how some light fixtures I modeled perform. Twighlight saves in demo are limited to 800x600, quite small, and partially covered with the brand stamp. Why is it called 'free'?
