The HDRI selection contains multiple nebulas of varying color and cloud densities, along with a simple star background. Therefore, the best way to evaluate which farm is the right one for you is experience both iRender and Xesktop, test some frames/scenes and decide by yourself. Iray Outer Space is a suite of HDRIs, Planets, Lights and 2D effects that allow you to create an array of stunning space-scapes. The rendering time will vary in projects with different assests, settings, etc. Note: The test result is only for the reference because it is a quite simple test scene. Artists choose which render farm according to their needs, for who only care about the speed, iRender is perfect while Xesktop is more preferred for who want to optimize the cost. However, the price of Xesktop is more reasonable: $6/hour for 10x GTX 1080Ti, $8/hour for 8x Tesla V100, compared to the lowest $3.8/hour to the highest $28/hour of iRender servers. Overall, iRender ranks 1 in terms of rendering speed. This property is hidden unless Dome Mode is set to one of the Finite options. 3 remaining servers of iRender (1x RTX 3090, 2x RTX 3090 and 4x RTX 3090), on the other hand, are slower than both Xesktop servers. Dome Scale Multiplier - Adjusts the difference between the native unit of measure for NVIDIA Iray (1m) and the native unit of measure for DAZ Studio (1cm) essentially, the size of dome space. Next is the Iray Wow Lights, a pack of 96 professionally designed HDRI Iray maps with 3 backgrounds. They both are faster than Xesktop’s fastest server – 8x Tesla V100. This is a pack of HDRIs with up to 7 light sources on each of them with studio feeling. As we can see from the results, server 6x RTX 3090 and 8x RTX 3090 of iRender have the shortest time to render.
