Maxwell. But for $1000 and a team of programmers it should be. Indigo is much more flexible because it is free. I can put indigo on every computer I have and set it to rendering. If I had enough computers it would be faster than the Maxwell.

Indigo still has feature areas that are far behind maxwell. I had been very seriusly considering useing Indigo in my rendering work but had a client purchase Maxwell for me.

im maxwell user and i think indigo may be faster on some situations..believe me....indigo on interior scenes are much muuch more fast than maxwell.......indigo is a diamond of computer programming i think...total minimalisic and powerfull!future releases i think make it more and more usefull and flexible than many commercial rendering engines (

)

hmm.. On my poor PC any render is slow (except Blender's internal

)
I was wondering about rendering time when people use Indigo or Maxwell for interior scenes for day light simulation (a room lit only through a window). I tried to render my interior scene with Indigo and even after 24 hrs of rendering it was still noisey

(but it looked realistic though).

hmmm well my interiors clean up with 2-3 hours of rendering....with 5 hours is totaly clean in indigo....soon i will post an interior scene i cook in indigo this days....its too clean and nice!!!indigo rules....commercian renderers sucks!!!

Indeed, I have Dell, but thank God, it doesn't crush

I have another box here, but mobo died in it. It was better PC: P4 2.4 Ghz with 512 Mb DDR400 RAM.

hope the ram & chip didnt get shoked, maybe u could switch em out (can i call em or waht? ;p ) or wait till Kentsfield comes out, well all have fun then!

some maxwellians recently discovered indigo:
http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... sc&start=0

on that site is a comparison between the Indigo-rendered and maxwell-rendered "IT-department" of radiance.
Tim-Ellis used different materials/textures as you will see

Nevertheless indigo isn't the looser in this camparison,
these are both great pics, but indigo is for free and is coded by ONE man!

Maxwell is generally faster right now.
However Indigo should be speeding up quite a bit,
in particular when 0.6 is done it should be more comparable.
