Arnold is best rendering engine out there. Sky and physical light just works perfect.Rend ers are bit slow but are photo-realistic
sometimes it crashes and doesn't autosave my work
It's very simple to use and adapt to from previous software. There is a lot of information available to make the transition as smooth as possible and plenty of support for it being taught at high education institutions.
Autodesk is outdated and expensive. It is unrealistic to think that sustaining a freelance career as a young artist is even possible with Autodesk.
