Have to say that I personally don't like these tests that much...
Settings can be tweaked and adjusted and render times will be very different depending on these settings...
It's really difficult to setup a model, where materials etc. are close to identical in the various render apps...
I.e. if another material had been used for the glass in the Thea render, the render time might have increased 10 times caused by caustic reflections on the wall... (remember this is just an example...)
Also the result with Indigo seem to be a combination of material and render settings... A little unfair IMO...

beginner

Any rendering test should be carried out based on results against time with a little twist...
The final render has to be as close as possible to the real thing provided - VASE WITH SOME FLOWER but, you would 'lose points' if the time to produce is excessive.

In principle - there is a time limit at the outset like in all SU's challenges on SUF

Will be funny to put it in Lumion!

Meh!

There is absolutely no merit to these "tests", complete waste of time.

I have always been very clear on how one tests a render solution, and this is not it.

Why don't they post the scene? Don't seem right.
