They are not even close to being on the same level. The level of control I have over objects, lighting and the overall scene in general in IRAY blows Fusions rendering away. Thanks for your time on for my products I use IRAY renderer because I can get 10X the realism in 30-60 seconds then I can get from Fusion's renderer in 2 hours. The Blender BMW benchmark test is a valuable source of information for developers, if people are interested they can compare their systems CPU and GPU performance figures from the benchmark tab.

When they contacted me to find out how the trial was going I pointed this out to them and they obviously tested Blender against their system and came back with “our render technology is new and we are still working on it”. I find it strange that commercial systems cannot come close to an open source programs time and quality.Įither SolidFace or SolidEdge offer both CPU and GPU rendering combined but when I tested the program they could not touch Blenders render times and quality. With my current CAD system I have to export everything and import it all into Blender which is time consuming, but nowhere near as time consuming as my current systems render performance. I have a large multi-stage fixture that took 7 minutes to render in Blender but with Fusion 360 it would take well over an hour based on the results I have seen so far.

It's all about speed, I do not need the quality that artists require, I need a clean render quickly.
