FREE RENDERER! Nvidia Gelato Zone

[ar]

This is a free renderer for 3d models and stuff. It looks really promissing, and pretty cool. So you all could try it, and tell me how it works :D.

None of the demo images are amazingly surreal, but it is quite good for free. :thumb:

Isn't that the point? To be as real as possible?

[Jeff Wheeler]

No, I mean none of them are as realistic as other fancy renderers…

[Vexir]

That is true as well. I remember there was this one renderer someone posted quite a while back that surpassed anything we'd seen so far, it was still in production though. D'you remember the name?

[Pasquale]

what like vray or something? its not free though haha
i love mentalray for caustics and things

[evildrummer]

For free thats pretty good but I bet it pops up everytime you start saying 'upgrade to pro now!' and its probably missing some annoying features that everynow and then you want. But then again, its free, what could could go wrong :D

Hmm... I think the main point of an Nvidia renderer is to render images using the GPU's inbuilt features to accelerate rendering. I'd rather just get something that uses the CPU entirely and produces photoreal images (eg. vray) than some experimental thing which sacrifices quality for the sake of hardware accelaration.

mentalray and renderman are my faves :)

[DDD]

Not bad, Its worth looking into. Anything that can speed up my radiosity renders is worth a try. Although its hard to beat LW's native renderer :love:


Edit:

This thing is actually not bad.

I get to try, I am on nVidia :)

Yeah, I remember that. I wish I could remember the name. You're talking about the one that looked super real... Except, at the time (while still in production) all the outputted images were high in noise?

Hmm, what ever happened to that renderer?

[ar]

That renderer is probably NextLimit's Maxwell renderer (http://www.maxwellrender.com/), by far the best I've seen.
