I don’t think that a huge render farm is the solution for all of us.
Rafareis123 has a super-powerfull machine which is able to get results quickly…but the most important thing is that he knows what he needs to tweak in order to get vray-like results, and that’s where is the most important trick of all!!!
At the end of the day, if you need to wait 30 minutes or 4 hours for me it doesn’t make a difference because in both cases the end result will be stunning, and that is what’s important.
With the “LEt’s make Lightmass EPIC” topic most of us understood lots of things and most of us are experimenting to get better results…you have to wait for the results? Yes, but when you’ll do another scene you already know what needs to be done and you’ll get better with just experimenting with various scenes, that’s it…as stated there’s no “one click solution” for each scene, but if you already know how to get better indirect lighting, avoid light leaks and splotches you already saved 10-15 hours or rendering time.
Save your money, buy a powerfull pc later on but in the meantime let’s religiously wait for the documentation which Rafareis is kindly giving to the community
