Liam Connor –
Arnold renders beautifully, but node setup can be tricky for beginners. Once you learn it, it’s excellent.
Emily Thompson –
Arnold is the best renderer for 3D animation. Photorealistic results in no time.
Michael Chen –
The node-based materials system is incredibly powerful. A true industry standard.
Sarah Jenkins –
Good renderer, but the documentation for beginners is lacking. Took me a while to learn.
