Vray 1.5 -> 2.0 = NOISE!

[vlado]

This only affects a few lines of the code for the DMC image sampler; the rest of V-Ray is still 2.0.

There is a known issue in the original 2.0 release with "subpixel mapping" and "clamp output" enabled. This is fixed for the service pack later this month, but in the meantime, you can either turn these options off, or else define a Windows environment variable called "VRAY_OLD_SAMPLING" with a value of "1" without the quotes.

do I have to delete the environment variable with vray 2 SP1?

Good question indeed ...

btw, it would have be cool to be warned by email of the availability of SP1

[vlado]

You can delete the variable for SP1, yes. Emails will be sent next week.

does it mean that "old sampling method" has been totally stripped out from VR 2.0?

[vlado]

No, it's still there; the environment variable still forces the old method to be used. However, even without it, V-Ray 2.0 SP1 will still produce cleaner results than the original 2.0 release.
