When rendering operations, the comparison between VR renderers and CR renderers has become a common question. Many people will ask this question.
Today, the editor of CG Magic uses a real project to compare the differences between VR renderers and CR renderers in the same scene.
The picture below is an example of the final picture of the scene used for testing. A project scene at No. 152 Elizabeth Street from that year was used to do a test.
1. Rendered with VR, the size is 2K. This picture took 75 minutes. You can see the small squares rendered by VR here.
2. Using the default parameters of version 3.5, violent rendering took 58 minutes.
Looking at the comparison between the two, to be honest I can't see any big difference.
Converting a VR scene to CR is almost a one-click thing, but even so.
Understand a few issues: VR cameras can be used in CR; VR hdri maps can be used in CR; VR dome lights will automatically convert into environment maps in CR; VR's displacement effect is stronger than CR.
Let's start the competition between the two. Set the rendering time to 20 minutes and see the performance of the two renderers in the same time. Let's look at the VR one first.
Convert the scene to CR, adjust the camera parameters to ensure they are completely consistent, and run for 20 minutes.
In the rendering of CR, you can see that the details are better, especially in the ceiling. The effect of the carpet is also more beautiful in CR, but there is no obvious difference in other aspects.
The most enjoyable part of using CR is interactive rendering, especially when adjusting materials and lighting, you can quickly combine the effects of various channels. I have never experienced this sour feeling in VR. Maybe VR requires too many manual settings.
The other is the lens flare effect of CR, which can be easily created, so in CR, you can create the effect more easily, and the modification is very convenient and intuitive.
Use various adjustment tools in CR to render a picture that does not require post-production at all.
Regarding the vignetting effect, I feel that in CR, the vignetting setting is around 1.6, which looks best, is not very dark, and can also have the effect of lowering the exposure at the edges. I only realized this after I switched to CR for a long time. .
The picture below is the final CR rendering that requires no post-processing at all.
From the above results, the contrast can be clearly seen. However, when choosing, everyone should still focus on suitability. Trace selection.
Note:
During post-rendering, if there is an urgent need for rendering and if you want to maintain rendering quality while improving rendering efficiency, the best way is to use a cloud rendering platform for efficient rendering.
The cloud rendering farm can render a picture on multiple computers at the same time, render multiple files at the same time, and work with multiple processes at the same time, which can greatly shorten the rendering time and speed up the drawing.
For Xuanyun rendering, you can choose the appropriate configuration according to the project requirements, and you can render in batches and produce results in batches, which is faster and more efficient.
Xuanyun renderings "Special Offer Mode" will be upgraded across the board on October 7th! !
Model upgrades, speed expansion, and higher cost performance! With larger memory, the rendering speed is upupup.
Xuanyun is the well-deserved [King of Cost-Effectiveness], helping users improve their cloud rendering experience.
For batch rendering, you can also use CG MAGIC, a 3ds max plug-in.
During the rendering process, CG MAGIC performs parameter optimization on its parameter settings. It automatically optimizes the model, material, lighting, and rendering parameters. Just one-click optimization for extremely fast rendering.
For efficient rendering, CG MAGIC supports VRay and Corona test rendering, channel rendering, and batch rendering, which can produce pictures with one click and provide super rendering.
More functions of CG MAGIC can be downloaded and experienced. The professional version of CG MAGIC is now online! Lots of benefits.
