We use the same Radeon ProRender SDK, but have a different rendering backend for Full Spectrum Rendering. In essence, Full Spectrum Rendering is an extension of Radeon ProRender beyond 'just' a path traced renderer using OpenCL. This gives artists a viewport that can be scaled from super-fast rasterized to fully ray traced, all with physically accurate materials and lighting. It wouldn't come near houdini, but overthrowing max/rhino/c4d for general uses is more than possible.Today, we are providing a beta preview of Radeon ProRender with Full Spectrum Rendering in our Blender 2.80 addon. I really do believe that blender could dominate the general 3d software market in the future. After blender's ui everything else feels like some ancient technology. Cycles in 3.0 is wayyyy better than it was before. A lot more companies right now hire for max archviz than blender, and i don't find being a freelancer in the field too appealing.īut with all being said. Blender is more fit for product rendering overall. Eg some decoration sets you could get for $2 look cool and contain a shitton of different materials and the best way to transfer that to blender is fbx+redoing everything yourself. Meanwhile max can be a lot more forgiving in the sense.Īnd despite blender having a great and supportive community that pumps out lots and lots of content, archviz is relatively undeveloped and quality assets and up to date tutorials that are abundant in max are a problem for blender. ifc instead of rvt, and that could be a bit of a hassle.Īlso, complex scenes and animation require a lot of optimizations which you would have to explore yourself. Even revit files - there is a really cool addon for that - but you'd have to contact clients for them to send it to you in. You can't really import complex DWGs (which would require converting to dxf) into blender, and stuff like that. 3ds max + Corona/vray is industry standard and you should not take that lightly - Autodesk put in a LOT of work so that you feel really inconvenient working in archviz without their products.
