Vray 3.4 and 3.5 comparison tests/renders (adaptive lights performance test)

Thanks for sharing!

Really interesting to hear other peoples set ups. I can see there is not much difference between render times. BF & LC definitely seem the way forward

I use RT CUDA BF+LC and set LC at 500 and noise at 0.1 for animation sequences and use the stand alone denoiser across a network using backburner on GPU mode.

Vray 3.40.03 render times for 1280x720 (test size) using problablistic lights was 9 minutes.
Vray 3.57.01 render times for 1280x720 (test size) using adaptive lights was 5 minutes.

The stand alone denoiser step for each frame takes about 10 seconds.

I think it might be even faster than the IRR rendering in two passes for moving objects.

To be honest, at this point, I don't know why anyone would bother with the irradiance map...

Best regards,

I was glad to ditch ir...I remember learning it from Chris Nichols tutorials about 12 years ago.

Well for a different scene also at night, I have over an hour per frame rendertime on BF. So maybe going back to IRR will be a good idea
