Adaptive Lights happiness

[NicoC]

Hello

Just a quick post to share my Adaptive Lights test results, because it's beyond my expectations. I can't post the images, NDA and all that stuff.
An interior scene (cosmetics shop) with 148 lights, rendered at 2500 px wide using DR, rendered in 14'23" without Adaptive Lights. With Adaptive Lights activated, set on 20, the same image was rendered in ... 8'56" !! for the exact same quality (2 images stacked in PS, difference mode) !!! so it's about 38 % faster.

I know you already it but ... you've done an amazing work on this one, thanks a lot and congratulations, Chaos Group

Best regards.

Actually, there's a very slight difference with Adaptive Lights ON, that appears to be a reflection, or the intensity of a reflection:


But that's the only difference between the two images, nothing crucial if you ask me, but I found it was worth reporting. Do you guys need the scene ?

Thank a lot.

No need for a scene, I know why this happens. The adaptive lights image is more correct in this case. The upcoming 3.50.04 will also feature a slight improvements to the adaptive lights.

Other than that, good to know that it's working fine for you

Best regards,
Vlado
