Quick question: When working on my latest scene (http://bertrand-benoit.com/blog/emmas-place-v-ray/) I hit my old problem about renders becoming very slow when the scene reached a certain level of complexity. This was using BF/LC.
But then, I had the random idea of switching from the progressive to the bucket mode and, miracle, things appeared to be running faster again and I could render 2K stills in under three hours, including reasonably smooth DOF using the default settings. I only really hit problems with a few sharp bokehs from shiny objects in the distance, which came out very grainy.
Is there something to this or is it one of these things I'm just imagining?
