** Cycles vs Iray **
A lot of people ask what is the difference (or advantage) between Firefly/3Delight and Cycles/Iray. Well, the differences are fundamental because Firefly/3Delight are biased renders, while Cycles/Iray are unbiased. In other words, a "biased" renderer fakes lighting in a rather simplistic manner as means to produce a quick but inaccurate image. It's not only over-simplistic, but it can look completely wrong in some cases, and the results can be unpredictable. Conversely, an "unbiased" renderer tries to handle lights as they behave in the real world, and hence can produce more realistic images with way less effort, and wi
