Dyson Vacuum

Done in 2011;
Purpose was to benchmark the engine speed while learning mental ray and fryrender, using the same model light type in a studio scene setup (vray, Fryrender and Mental Ray) under 3DS Max.
I did the Fryrender render with an extra IBLlight + white bg ; The rendering in Fryrender was unbiased and it took forever to render (half a day) compared to max half an hour on Vray or Mental Ray
these days with gpu rendering (Vray RT or Redshift ) this scene could be rendered at better quality in 5min or less. lol
