OLD versus NEW renderer images

Simple image copies, without fingerprint folders. OLD means the frozen legacy-port; NEW means the corrected CPU renderer. These paired pictures are existing previews, not completed standard/high benchmark results.

The full-size Gold Dragon was rendered with the NEW renderer, using the original scene and sampling settings. Open the 1024 x 768 Gold Dragon. There is not yet a corresponding full-size OLD Gold Dragon.

Full-size PNG copies: 512x512 images | 1024x1024 images. Their names include scene, material and old/new version. Missing images are still rendering or awaiting an explicit failed-attempt retry.

Detailed CUDA GPU run: GPU PNG files | Live authored scenes | Live material variants. These use 1024x1024, 64 camera samples and four glossy samples. The CPU comparison was stopped at the user's request; its existing images remain available.

The small paired Gold Dragon preview uses reduced sampling and a large finite floor slab. The full-size new render uses the original infinite floor.
