Mary - Testing New Render Engine (Patreon)

Heya all! SO here is part 1 of my big news for this week. After doing some research and testing out options I am 99% sure I am going to go with Redshift as my new render engine. It is a GPU based render engine. The other option I was exploring was Arnold. However, after doing some testing, Arnold was taking just as long as Mental Ray to render (though it did look better).

Anywho, here are some test renders of Mary with the new engine. There is not a whole lot of thought put into these poses, I just wanted to check different angles with.

OH and the GREAT NEWS is these renders took less than 2 minutes each which is 3-4 times FASTER than Mental Ray (my old engine). WHICH MEANS... dun dun dun! A LOT more time ANIMATING a lot LESS time RENDERING and most importantly, faster release times! :D

(Yes she is missing her eyelashes/eyebrows but I have to remake them differently to work with Redshift. I will work on that today)
