ambientlight + GI (no 2bounce) takes...

[themaxxer]

hello

is it right that rendering with ambientlight + GI takes forever to render?
GI is on but I have set 2. bounce to none.

any experiences?

ps. would be great if the help is updated when a new SP was released.

best regards

Do you use any texture for the ambient light?

We are in the process of updating the docs; should be out in a few days.

Hm, this is not a good use for the ambient light. It will keep pumping light into your scene with each bounce. It might be better to use the ambient occlusion options in the "Indirect illumination" rollout of V-Ray instead.
