Bforartists vs V-Ray Benchmark

Bforartists is a free desktop 3D creation suite for producing game graphics, pre-rendered movies, and still images. Its tools cover modeling, sculpting, texturing, rigging, animation, rendering, and post-processing, with 3D print export also available. The project uses a graphical, menu-oriented interface intended to make Blender’s tools easier to discover. It is compatible with Blender files and uses the same Python API. Most Blender add-ons work, although Renderman for Blender and Amaranth Toolset are listed exceptions. Rendering options include Cycles with CPU and GPU rendering and Eevee for real-time rendering. Bforartists runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Listed minimum requirements are a 64-bit quad-core CPU with SSE2, 8 GB RAM, and a graphics card with 2 GB RAM and OpenGL 4.3. The Windows installer is unsigned and may trigger a warning; a ZIP file or Windows App is offered as an alternative. The project describes its developers as volunteers and hobbyists and small indie developers as intended users.

V-Ray Benchmark is a free benchmark for measuring system rendering speed with CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs or both. Its scene tests the RTX and CUDA V-Ray 6 render engines, and the CUDA engine can combine CPU and GPU rendering. Users can run tests that take about a minute or loop them for longer runs, then compare scores with other results. Side-by-side comparison supports up to three configurations, and result details can include core count, clock speed and hyper threading. Users can save, view and share scores, filter results by device and hardware details, and browse or share through the mobile version of benchmark.chaos.com. Result exports are available as a text log or image, and V-Ray 5 Benchmark results remain accessible. The free plan costs nothing and includes the standalone application, CPU and GPU rendering tests, and online result comparison. Listed platforms are Linux, macOS, web and Windows; V-Ray 6 Benchmark supports Apple silicon chips.
