Why Iray, why not Pro Render?

Hello everyone!

I don't want to ruffle feathers here, but I am looking at the Iray plugin and I am a bit perplex, I get it that RL choose Iray because they want to attract Daz users, I get it, but is choosing Iray really the best solution for the average iClone users?

From my point of vies it is not, there are far better solutions than Iray out there, AMD Pro Render is one of those solutions.

Pro Render is open source, it is faster than Iray, by a long shot, it runs on both AMD and Nvidia GPUs, while Iray runs only on Nvidia GPUs, Pro Render already supports DXR (real-time rendering) and it runs on both AMD and Nvidia cards that supports it, there is no mention of DXR on Iray roadmap, and the list goes on.

I love RL products, but often I question their choices, and spending resources developing an Iray plugin, when Iray gets very little attention from Nvidia, while Pro render is actively developed, is one of these choices!
