Description
As you my know, I've been having fun with Carrara's Luxrenderer and loving the results. But for Still production (not animation) it has some issues, sometimes it hangs, sometimes, I can't open a DAZ file in Carrara etc.
As I am working a lot now with Genesis 2 I want to ensure I have a fairly stable pipeline. Ultimately, it is the final image that I am after too. So far, I like Carrara Luxrender the best, but I have nothing against Reality or IRAY, both these have super results.
Anyway, I have rendered the same scene in Carrara Luxrender/IRAY and Reality for comparison. Love your thoughts on it and your experience with these.
Thanks!

Interesting test It seems more real Iray !!

Thanks for the input on this!

Great idea for a scene also. My Victoria hasn't been rock climbing yet. ;-) I've tried some experimentsort with the Daz / Iraq lately, but I haven't got results as good as this. The sky is very realistic. I think I need to watch some tutorials, I can't even get a basic sky yet ;-)

Oops..auto correct. Should be Daz / Iray

Also, you can get luxrender for Carrara to look similar to both of the other examples and you can also use just Carrara if you want, as PhilW recently showed.

Carrara's native render is pretty amazing as it is. been using it for 10 years and loved most of my results. Loving these new engines too. fun to do all.

Interesting results. I kind of prefer the Reality render-- a little richer color. That's especially interesting considering Reality uses Lux.

Thanks! I like all three, but certainly the easiest to set up my scenes is IRAY so far, but DAZ Studio does lake the ease to manipulate meshes, but clothes fit better there. With Hexagon to export and adjust meshes, that is a viable work around. That it doesn't have Dynamic Hair like Carrara is another downfall, but the renders themselves, in all three, do strike me as better than most of the Carrara ones. But I a sucker for Light.

All good, though not as similar as you may expect given that they are all supposedly unbiased!
restif
Agreed. And for some thing, Carrara'a renderer is just as good. Depends on the scene and set up.
