THIS man should be hunted down not bribed to be honest !

40 render engines to choose from these days.

unsure, i vote for Cycles.

Make your own. There will be 41..

 

[erikals]

if i did, it would be all about speed.

like Marmoset Toolbag, but for huge scenes also.

An essential part of ray-tracing rendering is the creation of an optimal KD-Tree.
It requires learning where are your objects, their boundaries (min/max) in X, Y and Z axes.
Which objects have significant number of vertices and polygons (sort by vertex count?)
Histogram?

Note that changing surface settings, camera position, light position does not require KD-Tree/Octree recreation.
Just modification of mesh (bones, deformations, key-frames).
