Nice! Seems like an underestimated renderer. Does it support Phoenix and fume? Is there a watermarked indefinite version available like redshift has?
According to their website, they have the demo, it says unlimited. Whether that is unlimited time, or unlimited feature set…signing in, it still doesn’t make it more clear other than saying to install it using their manager.
They are subscription model only now. Though $176 cheaper than VRay for a year ($294 vs $470). Can’t find info on render nodes costs.
The biggest difference in price in Final render is exactly render nodes. You have unlimited render nodes with just one license. So makes it way cheaper than vray.
