Hi,
I was hoping someone can have a look over these two elements, both are from the same scene but using different DMC sampler settings, and perhaps give me an insight as to what is going on.
This first one is 1/50, clr thresh 0.007
This second one is 1/16 clr thresh 0.003
I follow with interest various threads that touch on using this element to understand noise, (a lot of input from joconnell actually so hope he sees this!) and I've concluded that the second image is what should be expected if the dmc sampler is working most effciently, a nicely balanced 'heat map'.
However, that image rendered in 4.5 hours, the first in 38 mins, with no real difference in the beauty passes! Now of course I can simply stick with the settings for the first image as I'm happy with the result, but I'm not understanding why these settings work, can anybody help?
And I've read the demystifying dmc sampler article a number of times but am struggling to understand that too!!
Cheers, Michael.
