VRAY RT IN FACT , ACTUALLY DO NOT RENDER BY GPU.ITS DO ONLY BY DIRECTX OR OPEN GL BY CPU. (THERE ARE ONLY SOME VIDEOS DEMOSTRATIONS, BUT ITS NOT AVAILABLE COMERCIALLY AT THE MOMENT,)DO MORE RESEARCH WORK BEFORE TO WRITE AN ARTICLE LIKE THIS…

I AM WRONG?

“I am a fryrender customer, a very very angry and disappointed customer. Too much marketing, too much nice images and words, but they have lie all us all these years, this arion is a shit product, useless and expensive.I bought fry because of they RC promises, and what we find now is this piece of ****. They are deleting all our complains in their forum, and locking our complains, this is soooo frustating. I wish I had never spend a dollar in random control I feel they have cheat us, and I thinking in some legal actions to get my money back, but I know these things are difficult, any other people in my situation?”

- thanks.

I think that there are plenty complains right now about it, i dont kow why from RC denny all this, and then they lock and delete all the complains..

It seems that they are “digging its own grave”.. in this way, but perhaps they will dont last much mor time so…

Simply overpriced and snob, Not even a demo available..yeah right..
Get the real thing..OCTANE has a down to hearth price and deliver exactly what it says on the tin..pure unbiased GPU renderer and with a gtx470/480 you are on the run…FAST!

I would love to know if Next Limit has something like this planned in their pipeline! That would help their customers with a few purchasing decisions,.

Wow! I am a fryrender customer too, and I couldn’t be any happier with my purchase. I am planning to buy Arion too, actually. If it really provides the same quality as fry at a fraction of the render times this app might become a real game changer…

Just to make things a bit clearer, Dade (David Bucciarelli) had been working for months on the seminal code of what now powers LuxRay:

I’d like to see how the rest of the rendering engines out there fare before I purchased this. I suspect at whole raft of engines will be firing their rays through these unified computing libraries as they start to mature and get better.

I’d love to be writing these apps, open source or not. This looks to be the cutting edge and trust me I’d rather fork out for a Tesla system or two rather than a shedload of over priced not getting faster quick enough cpu power….
