The renders of blender dont lok crappy. Just adjust the size of the render and use a highres skin. For mine 1900x1200 renders I use mine 5120x4096 hires skins. They give you a very nice render.
The difference to me with blender and #ds max is the colouring. Blender seems to be bright against the darkerner 3dsmax renders.
5120x4096 :faint2:
You don't really need that so much. And it should be impossible to handle for low pc spec users who probably don't want to wait 3 hours to make an average render.
3ds max is not the renderer, but Brazil is. I agree with you that some renders above are too dark, and the floor is noisy . I hope I will succeed to master Indigo renderer (3ds max compatible btw) to post killer renders :icon23:
When I render at 5120x4096 with reflection floor on 1 core it will be done in 36 minutes. The car is rendert rather fast but the reflection floor at 0,75 will take up most off his time.
Yep.. not perfect yet :') but there's some progress...
Still learning a lot
Btw: my program crashed a hour ago and lost the FZ5 scene... I build it up again and it's rendering now... (hope it's an improvement) / see post above..
