I came across this highly interesting site yesterday, WinOSI. WinOSI is a free 3d renderer by Michael Granz, the results look pretty excellent but it does have very slow rendering times. The most interesting part of the site though is a comparison between all the different commercial and freeware renderers that use Global illumination. All the well known ones are there, Vray, Lightwave, Pov ray, Kray, Cinema 4d. He didn’t have a Mental Ray version so I cooked him one up (see above). The difference between results is staggering in both image quality and rendering times.
