Difference

Description

To highlight the differences between Red Kryptonite by phoenixkeyblack and Monte Carlo Kryptonite by phoenixkeyblack by overlaying the images in photoshop and changing the layer type to 'difference' ...

It proves that the Monte Carlo render is very different, but is it better?

More importantly, is it about 7 hours better?

The first image took about an hour to render at 5000x4000, the second took 8 hours at 1280x1024. :omg:

Sometimes MC gives a much better result, other times I hardly notice the difference and in your examples I find the MC render blurry and the surface reflection is much better in the non-MC render. And I really cannot say when MC is good to use, because the render times almost always are rediculously big. My normal renders often take half a day or a day if there's VL and/or reflection and/or DoF, so MC might take weeks? ;}
