Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted December 26, 2014 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 This render is nearly identical to Thea in terms of features, and has a 3ds Max plugin. It even has a few features even Thea doesn't (support for Hair and more render channels, mainly). http://randomcontrol.com/blog/piracy-armistice/ http://www.randomcontrol.com/arion-for-3dsmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted December 26, 2014 Author Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 yeah, but no cinema4d support for me =( True. to some degree, I actually like the fact that they haven't tried to plug into so many different apps. I think it makes the ones it does support less integrated. Knowing that most of their focus is on making it work rock solid in 3ds Max (which is what I use), it appeals to me a bit more than Thea. I can see it because it supports hair and a few other things Thea still does not. Been testing it all morning, and I really like it. Can make interactive changes to SSS without any hiccups But if they want more sales, they do need to branch out a bit more (probably C4D and Maya) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted December 26, 2014 Author Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 As nice as it is, I still think Thea is the fastest thing going. Especially after this recent update. If I was a C4D user, I would not feel the need to buy Octane as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member bezo Posted December 26, 2014 Member Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I think last version of Thea Render v1.4 now support multichannels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Aleksey Posted December 26, 2014 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 yeah, i agree it would be nice if someone made a dedicated c4d gpu renderer which supports all its features, but small steps i guess =) Thea's roadmap indicates there should be hair support in 1.6. and we should get particles in 1.5. So not so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
