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 / OSXCurrently supporting OBJ only
WILL SUPPORT COLLADA SOON
WOOPAnd animation also
downloaded the Demo .. No CUDA device found .. so it will only run on Nvidia based G-cards
-
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.

For the sake of completeness, please add:

@ledisnomad, Little correction related to Thea Render, it has both biased and unbiased engines and also does work as a interactive renderer.
-
@notareal: Duly noted! I have made that correction and re-attached it.

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.
Best,
Jason.
-
maybe have the list as a wiki?
-
What's the best way to set up a wiki, do you think?
-
Google Docs is very good at document collaboration - including spreadsheets.

Hi!
I just found this one, i'm gonna try it! -

If you are on, or sign on with, a good hosting company, Wiki software is included for free.
Hint: GoDaddy is not one. (I build and administer websites)

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'?

It is the demoversion. So you can try everything. I've did it like that and I've bought the full version. It's not too expensive and worth every penny!
-
Thank you. I really don't have the time to render... I just wanted to add some light sources to some fixtures I've designed and was misled by the assertions here that it was free. The spreadsheet needs to be corrected. I'll try LuxRender.
