Hi,

I have done rendering test for many years and one of the scenes I used (coming from Radiance) is the Conference Room:



See e.g. this link [www.janwalter.org].

Recently I started using Houdini Indie for some of my tests and here are a couple of videos showing my first results:



A simpler one about the Cornell Box:



At some point I will make the scenes available for download ...

Cheers,

Jan

Hi,

finally I decided to buy a Houdini Indie license to include Houdini in my renderer comparisons:

Please read the blog post above for the motivation behind this. In the meantime there is not only the Cornell Box checked into the new Github repository, but other scenes as well:

• bedroom
  
• cafe_scene
  
• conference_room
  
• cornell_box
  

I currently use PRMan (Pixar's RenderMan) and Redshift as external renderers. Others might be added later. Let me know if a scene for Houdini Indie works if only one of those external renderers is installed or if there are other problems with those scenes …

Rendered images are kept in another (older) Github repository: https://github.com/wahn/export_multi [github.com]

Cheers,

Jan

P.S.: The hardware being used for rendering is described here:

Maybe we would get a better solution by sending a MacBook Pro to Toronto. Once Mark Elendt got addicted to it a Mac port is just hours away … I'll go and talk to Steve … :twisted:

P.S.: Rick, say hello to the Mill NY crew. Good to see that there is Houdini interest now (beside you) …
