I'm a huge fan of Vray, but recently I had to use Mental Ray in Max, in order to render Vue Xstream atmospheres.
I must admit MR has evolved and became more friendly. Still it's very powerful, and well integrated into max, giving power to iterate renders and basic lights.
I cannot but conceive it worth a second try.
I think, maxwell is too slow for "non-professional" artist without renderfarm and 90% of people,which are posting visuals to evermotion gallery have cracked Vray and stolen evermotion models. And dont tell me that no...
Vray is popular due to his short rendertimes, huge support by evermotion and their model and material collections. Vray is pretty easy but a lot of time u need to tweak scene before render go way u want. Maxwell is slow, but puts realistic and physically correct renders and all u need to have is patience,hi-poly models and quality materials.
Its taste of opinion which render software people are using but i wanted to say, vray rocks here. Nope for quality but due to things i wrote before!
