Comparison of mental ray, maxwell, renderman pros and cons

mental ray .With caustic function. The effect of doing microwave sparkling lake surface and water surface is good. Maxwell doesn't know much. Generally, no.

renderman requires programming. If you are not a computer expert, you will generally not use it.

In addition, there is VR, which is a commonly used renderer in major industries. It's easy to get started. Both English and Chinese versions are available. There are also many corresponding materials on the Internet. Supported to use.

Only the first one I know is rendering software, could the last two be your mistake? It's vray or lightscript is a renderer, mental ray is very early, and now few people use it, as for vray and lights have their own merits, it's not like you can figure it out in a few words, find more information to see.

mental ray's materials and script programming are powerful, and you can write your own materials, so it is often used in animation rendering, because it can make various effects, but because the parameters are more complex and difficult to adjust, it is not easy to get a better effect, and there are fewer related tutorials, and it is mainly easier to use in maya, so it is mainly used for animation, and vray has fewer parameters, it is easy to get started, the global light and shadow effect is simple and real, and there are many related tutorials, so there are many people who use it, And mostly used in renderings. In addition, both mental ray and vray have caustic functions, among which vray's caustics are more powerful, and one of vray's nicknames is "caustic king".

Maxwell's material parameters are few, and as much as possible to simulate the real lighting, so Maxwell's rendering effect is the closest to **, but because of the use of simulated truth machine and physics, so the rendering speed is not generally slow, but I believe that with the development of computer hardware, the rendering speed will not be a problem, Maxwell is mainly used for product performance and high-precision industrial applications.

Rendman is a dedicated renderer for Pixar, mainly used for film and television batch rendering. The required hardware environment is high.

CAD rendering is too low-end to be understood. As far as simple mechanical rendering is concerned, 360 PhotoView in SOLIDWORKS is completely competent, and the results are not bad. Professionally, there are too many independent renderers, such as renderman, mental ray, vray, rhinoceros, Brazil, etc., no less than a dozen, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, renderman, mental ray needless to say, the most awesome renderer in film and television.

Rhino, Brazil, Keyshot, Maxwell and other industrial renderers, Vray architectural renderers. Of course, it's not too absolute, software has its own temper like people, speed, imaging quality, difficulty of mastering, light algorithms, etc., take Maxwell as an example, the industry is recognized as the king, the imaging quality is quite good, but the speed is quite slow, a frame may have to be rendered for a few hours to a few days, with the domestic equipment situation can not be imagined. But their style is determined by what they are good at, and the most important thing is how well you learn, each renderer has a good performance, it is the work of the masters, and I hope you can get to that level too.

CAD doesn't need to render at all. That's for software upgrades. Doesn't have much real value.

It didn't work at all. Why render in CAD.

Most of the domestic companies use mentalray, few use renderman, and many use renderman externally.

The two renderers are equally difficult to get started with, and Renderman has a version for Maya, which is just as easy to use as the mentalray in Maya. However, there are very few renderman Chinese tutorial materials, few people can know, and communication is inconvenient, so it is much easier to learn mentalray.

As for learning more about the renderer, Renderman's RSL is much easier than Mentalray's shading language.

In terms of speed, mentalray renders things like ray tracing fast, ***. Renderman render displacement, motion blur, hair, depth of field, these are fast. Dispersal.

mental ray is simpler than renderman, both of which are movie-level staring renderers, and renderman is the most used abroad. mental ray works as well as renderman. And it's integrated into all major 3D software.

Therefore, it is more convenient to do it.

If you want to learn systematically, you can consider signing up for a live online class, and recommend CGWANG's online class. The teacher speaks carefully, you can watch it back after the class, and there are also the same type of recorded classes that you can learn for free (give away lifelong VIP).

Feitu gmedit renderer is an easy-to-use, extremely fast to use, and extremely realistic rendering effect.

Feitu is a renderer for full physics simulation, which completely simulates the physical principles in reality, and the same scene needs to show real effects, Feitu users only need to place the model and set the light source according to their own needs, and Feitu will automatically restore the real effect through calculation, and users do not need to master too many mapping skills and physics knowledge. At present, most renderers on the market use biased calculations, and users often need years of drawing experience and physical knowledge to show realistic effects, and achieve it through layering, adjusting lighting, and accurately grasping the material, which has high requirements for users. For companies, the use of Feitu will greatly reduce recruitment costs and training costs, and for users, it can also greatly improve work efficiency.

See how easy it is to achieve the caustic effect:

It's up to you to do it. It is enough to simply make a rendering V-ray. I'm doing interior design, and I feel that although V-ray is not the best, it is more than enough to make renderings.

If it's a very beginner 3D line scan, it's okay, but at a glance you can see that it's definitely made by a computer. However, the rendering speed is many times faster than V-ray, and it can be rendered by a computer, while V-ray recommends using Intel i5 or above processors. There's also a dumb renderer called Lightscape, which comes with a powerful library of materials that you just need to specify what it is, rather than specifying highlights, reflections, diffuses, bumps, and so on like V-Ray.

But Lightscape is not a plugin for 3D, but a standalone software. Just build the model in 3D and import it into Lightscape, indicate the material, and run the light. However, the effect is much worse than V-ray, but much stronger than 3D line scanning.

V-ray is the most used in making renderings, and people who exceed it are using V-ray, and V-ray can make first-class renderings after learning it well. If it's for pure truth, use Maxwell Render, but don't forget to use a server CPU of more than 5,000 yuan. For the rest of the renderers, please see the first floor description.

1. Feitu gmedit renderer.

2. Keyshot rendering.

3. 3D comes with rendering, add material rendering.

There are only a few mainstream ones, and you can try to play with the others

At present, there are many independent rendering software, such as vray, keyshot, rendrman, mental ray, corona, etc. There are also C4D and Blendr's built-in renderers that can also meet the initial needs.

It's you again. The year of birth is different, renderman is a little earlier. Both are powerful, both are cinematic renderers, and Renderman is the most used abroad. mental

Ray can be as good as renderman. And it's integrated into all major 3D software. So it's more convenient, and the posture is coarse

Ray is a bit simpler than Renderman, and both can be customized shaders. All are very strong. If you go out of school, mental

ray. Don't focus on these advanced renderers, just learn the default renderer first.

Ray (abbreviated as MR).

Ray was one of the two heavyweight renderer traces that appeared early (the other being Renderman) for the German mental

images. When it was first launched, it was integrated into the well-known 3D animation software Softima-GE3D as its built-in rendering engine. It is by virtue of mental

With Ray's efficient speed and quality, Softima-GE3D has been the go-to software in Hollywood Tungsten Filmmaking.

Compared to another high-quality renderman, mental

Ray's rendering is almost comparable, and it's much easier to operate than Renderman, which is very efficient. Because the renderman rendering system requires the use of programmed techniques to render the scene, and mental

Generally speaking, Ray only needs to set the parameters in the program, and then "intelligently" automatically calculates the scene that needs to be rendered, so mental

Ray has an alias called "Smart" render stool commit.

Both are cinematic renderers with comparable fame. Punches.

The comparison that is good depends on the conditions of your first judgment.

mental ray is more popular in domestic companies. Now that mental ray is integrated into Maya, teaching is also popular, so it naturally has an innate advantage in terms of academic achievement.
