I do hope more studios move towards using an art test and the mandatory probation period to assess a candidates ability and competancy especially for junior roles and new hires over using the portfolio exclusively to evaluate this. Like at EA, on my project I didn't find any direct 1:1 correlation between a candidates…

The primary differences between Toolbag and Iray are that Toolbag is a real-time renderer, more like a game engine where most of the rendering systems are optimized for speed rather than absolute quality. Iray on the other hand, is a traditional ray tracing rendering (like Vray, Arnold, etc). So when it comes to ray traced…
