Durring the irradiance processing, it seems to take longer with Reflect and Refract turned on, HOWEVER, I dont see a difference in the end result,
Ex: I render a room , using a wood floor, and glass table that use glossy effects.
During 1 render I use reflect/refract and glossy, it takes 16min
Durring the 2nd render, I tick those off, do the irradiance, and then render using that irradiance map with the reflect/refract turned on.
Now, Im just curious as to weither or not this actualy effects the final render in any way that Im just not seeing, or is this a viable solution to speeding up render times?
