Attached Link: Render Comparison
Thought I'd try rendering the same scene in different programs. Here's the ones I've done so far.

Wow, the difference in render-times between Bryce and Carrara (22 mins v. 46 secs) nearly convinces me to to dust off Studio 2 and make a real effort to learn it.

I'm sad now. Thinking of shooting the old dog and getting myself a new puppy. :-(

Universe4 sure looks good. What is your favorite ?

definetely amorphium in my opinion =)

I reckon Amorphium as well when do we see the Max/Maya/XSi versions? :)

The Amorphium image seems far and away the best, bright and alive with a beautiful depth of reflection. Is it just coincidence that the Bryce image took longest to load on my browser!! Bye now...Dennis

I have to admit the Amorphium is my favorite. Will probable never see a Max, Maya, or XSI version cause I can not afford the programs, and I refuse to install a version that water marks. But I do have old versions of Truespace, Cinema 4D, 3D Studio, and Lightwave. but I have to install them again. Which I may do in the near future.

BRYCE5 is showing its age! I am so damn sad I can't have a new version!

I think the ball and the plate are much more photo real with the universe #4. That texture on the ball seems real.The strip around the homeplate seems much better than the rest.If it didnt have the sort of sharp edges I would think this was a photo.

This is great to see the differences. I also like the Amorphium best. Universe is second. Would love to see it in maya and max, too. :)

If you would like to participate in this little endeavor. The scene is now available in 3 formats 3DS, OBJ and LWO2, the default texture maps are also available. Any logos will have to be added to the texture maps. Texture maps http://stevesartgallery.bryce-alive.net/scene/bb_scene_tex.zip Lightwave Objects LWO http://stevesartgallery.bryce-alive.net/scene/bb_scene_lwo.zip OBJ http://stevesartgallery.bryce-alive.net/scene/bb_scene_obj.zip 3DS http://stevesartgallery.bryce-alive.net/scene/bb_scene_3ds.zip Any images rendered can be emailed to StevesArtGallery@comcast.net Please put Baseball Scene, as the subject, and attach an uncompressed image at 1024X768, with a brief explanation of program & version, render setting & options, and render time. PS...let me know if there are any problems with the files.

Thanks for the side by side comparison. Now, okay for the dumb question (maybe) - I'd like to know how each of the programs default settings compare with each other. I don't think anybody here who's kicking out good stuff is letting Bryce shuffle along with the defaults. I know you are looking for some type of baseline for consistency, but are any of these programs utilized heavily with default settings?

Steve, I'll probably have a play with the Max one next week!.
