Will I ever render this scene? 91pass - 11hours

[Paul Oblomov]

I used to not really resent the fact that vray can't render foam without using nasa computers. But I ran into the same problem yesterday, thinking it had been solved a long, long time ago.

And now there is no way to render this scene, because the gpu version looks incomplete and I don't have access to supercomputers.

The scene is simple - domelight, bruteforce, no secondary gi and a shader in bubble mode without reflex with 0 bounces.

You have to understand the options and use them wisely, Luke! And screenshot them too

Is this motion blur as well?

[Paul Oblomov]

Heh. Yeah, moblur is here. I suspect domelight...

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

So you have GI and moblur and a dome light: it doesn't get worse than that setup-wise.

How many particles do you have and can you share the particle shader settings?

[Paul Oblomov]

Will share only if you promise me to render it faster

Volumetric 0.99 makes things better tho.

Hi. It's me again. Where can I upload my stuff ? 4gb per frame.

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Wow, 4 gigs :O

Drop a mail to support and the guys will email you back the FTP credentials

Thanks!!

[Paul Oblomov]

Yeah, it is uncompressed

While me waiting for the ftp, I uploaded several files to a usual place. PMed link.

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Yess, just saw it now. Will check it ping you when we know more...

[Paul Oblomov]

Great! While waiting for gpu foam shading equalization with production - plz look at the moblur dark triangles too!

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Btw in today's nightlies there are a bunch of fixes for the Particle Shader, including the ability to render it in Probabilistic mode (from the atmosphere). This could be a big optimization, so check it out meanwhile...

Hey,

Looks like there are is some issue with the files, there is nothing in the folder. You should have a mail from our support guys

[Paul Oblomov]

Ok. Btw - do ya have any tips of cheating with phx shader on gpu, so I get that scattering feeling of foam ? Like in production mode ?

[georgi.zhekov]

I can't think of anything except for using really bright color and bumping the bounces to 10.
