Cinebench

Maxon Cinebench is based on Maxon's popular animation software, Cinema 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation.

We ran the built-in CPU benchmark, which uses a 3D scene file to render an image. The scene makes use of various CPU-intensive features such as reflection, ambient occlusion, area lights and procedural shaders.

Cinebench R11

LightWave 9.6

Website: LightWave 9.6

Another commonly used workstation application is Newtek LightWave, which was recently used to create CGI sequences in Iron Man and the Battlestar Galactica TV series.

We used LightWave 9.6 to render a single frame of animation from the scene developed by 3D Speed Machine. This is an older version of the program, however, it was useful for backwards compatibility when comparing results. We've used a tougher benchmark with LightWave 11 over the page.
