You can't really compare them, they are for totally different things. There is theoretically some overlap but it wouldn't really make sense to compare them. Element is more like a particle based 3d engine with no ray tracing features (like glossy reflections, transparency, refraction, and extremely accurate lighting), whereas the AE engine supports all these things but not the import of external 3d files, particle style animations, imported textures or environment maps. So For most things, element is much faster, but not as physically accurate, and can't do ray tracing. Make sense?

Thanks guys,

If you have some time, could you make a comprare with the Raytraced renderer? For example with a simple text movement. What's the difference in the render time.

Thanks
