  • need light cache help with region

    I just need to know if my thinking is correct. Since regions tend to be lighter I assume yes, but I really want to know if it's right.

    I've got a 5k render using irradiance map, med, and light cache, 2000 subdivs.

    OK, then I do a region, it's lighter. Is that because it still does a full 2000 samples in that small region? Should i really be figuring out how much of the screen is being shown and use only that percentage of the original amount. So if say I use a 1/4 region, then I should have 500 subdivs for that region?

    that seems to work, but it's hard to tell. I know it won't be exact, but that will at least be closer, not to mention quicker.

    It will use proportionally less samples, depending on the region size. This may be the reason why it's a little different.

      so I really shouldn't be manually reducing the number of samples then?

        No need, V-Ray already does that automatically.
