Description
This scene was created in Lightwave by my friend Quinn (theDrQ on renderosity). The top image is his LW render with radiosity completed in about eight hours on a single 1.6Ghz system. The bottom is my render of his scene in 3DSM with mental ray, rendered in eleven minutes (my dual MP 1.4Ghz). Now, the LightWave image is unquestionably the nicer render, but consider the render times! Also, the MAX render is the lightwave scene with no modifications other than decreasing the tint from 1.0 to 0.3 becasue it was too bright. Some volumetric lights and increasing the sampling rate in mental ray should produce an equivalent image still in a fraction of the time. Congrats to theDrQ for a great job on a difficult scene.

Nice 3DSM render! I kinda felt that the LW render was a bit too bright; I like the somewhat ambient glow behind the pillars in the back. I would like to see it with volumetric lights shining in through the upper windows!
