Hi guys, i´m starting this thread for 3Delight technical test.

Nice test Malcolm. Do you have a comparison setup with MentalRay?

Here is an old hair test scene I rendered in 3Delight. I am pretty pleased with the quality and speed. The MentalRay setup uses the rasterizer for primary rays. I don't know what my problem with the rasterizer is that causes the image to be teared apart in the middle.

Does anyone know how to get AO and GI from 3Delight (they claim to have ambient occlusion and "color bleeding")? I have not tested it enough yet and hardly any time to continue my experiments.

SSS experiment I think that not explain so well what you want to show and also the water marks are too strong. :(

I explain.
It´s a technical test, it´s to show bugs in 3DElight render
, quality of SSS, and Speed/Quality factor.

The watermark is so strong, because the background is very dark.

The reason that i not post equivalent MentalRay SSS image, is because SSS in 3Delight is not a mentalray converted shader, is a 3Delight internal shader, with have no equivalent parameters that match SSS parameters of Mentalray.

So, other cases, with equivalence, i suggest to post both images, like hair example above.

i really like how it renders hair, not to talk about the speed...
