A quick demo showcasing the power of blender’s render engine (Cycles) in archviz rendering.

The purpose of this demo is to show you how practical cycles is, and how much it helps to quickly set shaders / material colors, change the lighting and set the render views

The video playback run slightly faster than normal speed, but you can see the real render times in the top of the render view “elapsed”

The used hardware specs (GPU rendering):

CPU: intel core i7 2600 3.5GHz

RAM: 16Gb

GPUs: Geforce GTX285 as a display device 2× Geforce GTX580 as CUDA compute devices
