This is an incredibly well-done model! I discovered it after someone benchmarked their 750 ti card on it. I would love to see other benchmarks on this model!
here’s the old benchmark but the document is locked for edit because recent Cycles releases are much faster, and this benchmark is hardware oriented, so the software conditions must be the same (same scene, same render size and same render software)
I’m working on an updated scene version with some goodies, like noise clean up compositor node setup, and some atmospheric effect done with the new volume shaders
That is fantastic! I would love to see that new scene version… I’ll be able to learn a lot about how to make a realistic scene in Cycles! How many samples were in that side shot you just posted above? What gpu did you use for rendering it? Was that really a 1 hr 43 min render???
