Cycles vs MitsubaĪbout Luxrender, I’m not sure If my setup was correct but it seems slowest – (update) even with Metropolis sampler and QBVH, as some people were suggesting, render time did not improved much. But then how much longer will it take to clean up Cycles render? I bumped samples AA samples from 11 to around 24 and result seems comparable to Mitsuba, but render time increased to 27 minutes. It is big step forward compared to year 2011, where cycles gave more noisy renders (back then it was actually worse than Luxrender). Here are results with similar render times (see bottom of post my my rig specs): Cycles vs Lux vs Mitsuba Render settings for Luxrender Cycles and Mitsubaĭifference between Cycles and Mitsuba in not that big. (update) For Luxrender i used Metropolis sampler, and paused it at 13min so I’m not sure how many samples there were(/update). Render setup was adjusted for each renderer based on feedback I got from forums of comments belove. All engines were setup with same material and lightning (HDR image). Did anything changed in past 2 years? Right now I did 3 test Cycles, Mitsuba 0.4.3, Luxrenderer. Cycles was the slowest and Mitsuba fastest. MIS for HDR envrionament light was ON with 16 samples, and resolution of 128.Įnd of Updates In 2011 I did free render engines comparison – NOX, Luxrender, Cycles, Mitsuba, Yafaray.

AO, SSS and Emision were set to 1 sample.

nonprogressive integrator with 11 AA samples and 8 diffuse, 4 glossy, 26 transmission samples.

Most of images in this post were updated with this Cycles setup. I adjusted Cycles with settings provided by Cunha and I just set total AA samples to 11 so render time was close to 12 minutes, for easier comparison with other render. Update2: I finally had some time to test Cunha settings (see update above with link to his post). Update: look at post of helder Cunha who actually took some time to explain how correctly setup cycles to get clean result with non-progressive integrator in Cycles. Edit: here is newer version of this article.
