Re: Article about free renderers, featuring LuxCoreRender

In my Impression Luxrender ist still "advanced users".
Its not working like "Click and Render", especially difficult Scenes in 8k Resolution often fail here.
Besides that - IF it works the results are amazing and most realistic.
Have to add about Radeon Pro Render: Under (unknow) circumstances, it produces Fireflies that seem not to go away no matter how many Samples you throw on them. I do not use it so often so i don't know what switches I may have set.
Finally I would say "the one Renderer that is easy to use and "most realistic" results" i snot yet available."
There is no one that beats all the others in any place.
While I would give:
"Luxcore" the most realistic results especially about Interior and Glas. Responsivness problems from resolutions higher then 4K.
"Cycles" is still the engine with least problems and nearly all features. Also most tutorials and material available on YouTube.
"EVEE" the fastest - and least noise (because no noise normally). Often the only choice for Videos in 4k (time ...).
"Pro Render" nice for beginners because all Materials are "ready to use included" and needs least memory and resources.
Best maybe if you have newer AMD-Graphiccards because then it has more Render-Modi (which i could not test therefore).
Lastly I had some problems that ProRender makes Blender "hang when started". In such case the Computer must be restarted, to use Blender again.
The system-console must be open then you see that Blender hangs at something called "RPR*..." from ProRender.
"POV-Ray" seems broken in newest Blender?
But its mostly used from outside Blender anyway.
I think these are the Renderers I am currently using.
