Mental Ray looks better, but we'll have to make that decision in a couple days.
We have access to 6 computers so we can divide the rendering up. Remember: you can install Max on as many computers as you want. No registration required if you only use the program for < 30 days. |
I always use mental ray. Don't look at this as a scanline/mental ray decision. Both renderers are highly configurable. I have always had faster times with mental ray, so obviously it's not mental ray's fault that it's taking 9 times longer.
