Do you have an NVidia graphics card to make a comparison with Iray?

no i dont use daz or have a nvidea card. I have kids which = cheaper AMD/ati.
I like reality for many reasons. The speed difference is immaterial for me between the two

That's good to know I had written an article at Reality Octane and Iray, Realistic Options for DS Β and speculated as to why Reality was still worthwhile when the free Iray was available.

Iray also doesn't have the flexibility reality->luxrender does. In Iray, once you start rendering, you can tweak the render/tonemapping settings, but you don't have control over lighting like you do in reality->luxrender. I don't believe there's an option to pause and resume in IRAY either.Β two huge bonuses for those of us missing the nVidia cards, or have to render w/ only cpu power.

Interesting. I was struggling to see any point but you have mentioned some.

Good comparison, especially after downloading Reality I was trying to decide on what setting to use. The downside is there is not a great deal of difference!

There is a huge difference. I am rendering an image which was going to take 24 hours for any part ofΒ it to look completed.apart from a small part which has light going through three planes of glass and droplets of water it was crystal clear in two and half hours.

I've noticed the speed and I'm really pleased with that, I suppose for me now it is what option as previously it was easy; CPU only too slow, GPU only poor results and so hybrid was the way to go.
I tend to think I will go for CPU accelerated but I'm unsure with the boost, boost means to me that it could provide bad results?
The thing that gets me now is you imply you don't have a top of the range CPU,which means the gap between CPU over CPU/GPU rendering has got very small.

oh no i have a good cpu 8 core fx 8350 but the equivalent intel would always be much much higher in price and probably more efficient. I have found boosted also to be fine

I've heard a few people say that boost is ok, I just wonder why you have a switch for boost or not. Maybe they (Lux) don't trust the coding fully, so have left it as a yes/no choice.
If I was a coder and had created a 20x increase I might worry about quality! I suppose time will tell.

There is i have noticed lines are jagged .Its okay for some work quick renders i guess but for most i will stick to accelerated you can see the jagged lines on my next image i am uploading

I knew there would be something!
To be fair though I'm really pleased with the speed.

It looks amazing! You can see a big difference between the first and third render, and it is huge HUGE difference with the rendertimes from 2.5 or 4!

ooh yes there is a massive difference and you can really get the quality far better in far less time

I like the right most one, I think the blacks are... blacker?Β They are on my screen.Β It is clearer as well

I thought the same at first but I'm inclined to go for the middle one after looking at it for a bit

Absalutly the the new luxrender has pushed cpu's with avx tech to 10 to 20 times faster than before. happy days and lower electricity bills

Have you tested the NVIDIA Iray engine? You see big differences between Reality and Iray?

I have a ATI Graphics card and still use poser. I am pleased with reality anyways speed is not everything but is always welcome to save electricy

The difference is impressive! I have it loaded but haven't read much or tried much. Looks like I have to.Β

yes its really good. The reality sun is a bit weird but than that its pretty damn stable
