I've used Iray before. Pretty impressive speed/quality trade-off with most renders. Getting the lighting just right is the trick though, otherwise you get too much "grain" in an image.TheDman wrote:Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm using Iray since it's really easy to use and as long as I keep the scene relatively small i can render things quite quickly, also i'm lazy and learning something new takes effort.
Well a little trick i do is bump the resolution of the image up super high, like 4000x3000 or something, then reduce it to half the size in an image editor. I'm not sure exactly how Iray functions but rendering things extremely large does not add time to a render and the graininess is smoothed out a lot when you reduce the image. This is one of the images before and after i reduced it's size and did some other stuff in photoshop.I've used Iray before. Pretty impressive speed/quality trade-off with most renders.
