hi all, that's a few minutes setting render made by Cinema 4d R 8.5; I have to say that despite of the excellent speed of the engine (6'21'' at 2000 x 1500 with great AA outcome) I find very difficult to set an appropriate lighting atmosphere in C4D and the result seems not so amazing; that' s let me emphasize  once again that Carrara has easy and useful presets and a very good render engine; at the present  for me it is the best software ever used for photorealistic renderings.
next fight: Carrara versus V ray
stay tuned

The contest (similar settings and outcomes):
Carrara 5    6' 54 at 3200 x 2400 - previous post
Vue Pro 6    22' 58 at 2160 x 1440 - previous post
