FurryBall from Prague-based AAA Studio (Art and Animation Studio) is now available free of charge for personal use – comparable to Final Render from Cebas. The licence has no time limit, the resolution limit is Full HD (1,920 x 1,080), and rendering time is somewhat slower. This means: The rendering time itself is normal, but it then takes some additional time for the watermark to be removed in the final rendering process – but that is probably something one can live with.
By the way: In issue 7/2015, we are doing a major renderer comparison.
