MachStudio Pro photo-realistic architectural rendering

[Anonymous]

There have been several CG artsits asking if MachStudio Pro (which lets you work and adjust images in real-time) can produce the kind of photo-realistic images that architectural visualization professionals need.

To help answer this question, StudioGPU's lead scientist rendered several images in the style of V-Ray. The images and video produced for this blog post were an example without too much fussing (basically set up and tweaked in about 5 hrs from model download to final render). Actual render time was 84 sec for the 1200 X 1469 image.

The images are from the Evermotion Archexteriors vol 9. All lighting, materials, AO and HDR exposures were set up in MachStudio Pro.
The blog has links to two high res images and one video which are worth checking out.
