I never say that the choices in Vray are weaknesses, but I don't need them at this moment. It gives other developpers their room to grow. How about a Vray basic version with a much lower price to fight the entrance market?

The perceive weakness of vray is actually its strength. i have tried lots of software including Shaderlights. Of course when it comes to quyality you have to sacrifice the speed. But since i am looking on both (the balance), I will go with vray definitely. The learning curve is a bit frustrating, but once you conquer that particular stage, there you go.

After using Vray for awhile, I have a feeling that it's a bit too complicated for my use: too many options, too many choices. I saw another renderer which claims to be more intuitive and user-friendly - Shaderlight on this forum. The trial version has been tested. After some tuning, I can get some images pretty close to what I got from Vray. HOWEVER, it seems that Vray optimizes the use of multi-core processor. For similar results, I think Vray can finish them about 30% faster than Shaderlight...

Anyone know anything about it? Why is Vray faster? Or I have done something wrong there? Thanks!
