Final Render still lives??!!
Of course, it still lives, and it´s keeps getting better and better and faster and faster depending of the workflow. My number 1 3ds max renderer is V-Ray since many years back, but that´s because I have so many tutorials, scripts and other plugins bought and collected over the years, so it´s hard to drop it. But I highly suggest that you give the new fR a go!
Surely FR would have better prospects as a Hydra Delegate at this point?
lol final render
pls devs just let it die and take fume with it
we have modern render engines now.
boomer engines are over
RIP Brazil
I can recommend to try it.
fR with this new drop is a good and fast renderer.
I havent been saddened fpr any tool going out like i did for Brazil, that renderer had the potential to be the next Arnold.
True, but it still doesnt beat adesk dropping XSI
Wishing death to 3d-developers technology is a very unusual and radical call. I wonder where does it come from.
its a tongue in cheek saying, that reflects the reality of trying to keep a lagging product going,
playing catch up with a decreasing user base and slow adoption of adopting new features from other software vs introducing new ones.
a difficult game to play but sure as day its a pattern that repeats over and over.
Igor, there are so many different renders out there for 3ds max and most of the developers claims that their renderer is the best. People try out the demo and notice that something is missing between renderer X and Y etc. and then complains about it in the open. Today it must be hard for smaller companies to keep up with bigger companies like Chaos regarding renderers and more, but personally, I think people should give other smaller companies a truthful chance before complaining to much.
And to you darren, no, I don´t think that cebas should let finalRender die like a few other max renderers did. And what has Fume to do with renderers? I suspect you mean FumeFX?
They need a major visual rebrand. For a modern tech company not possessing a slick marketing identity is concerning. No matter how many features they roll out, your modern consumers will look elsewhere. That and some brand ambassadors would be a wise move.
They have been told so a couple of times here on this forum. I think the same way you do. A complete visual rebrand could help a lot, but I do not see this happening anytime soon.
I remember their marketting being horrible… back in the day when cgtalk.com used to be amazing there was a cebas person agressively bashing other rendereres and praising finalrender… Thats a big reason why nobody wants to support that company.
