(Resolved) adaptive bucket splitting

[ronald_a]

Hi,

what are the plans to bring adaptive bucket splitting to vfh. This seems to be low hanging fruit to increase renderspeed in a lot of situations.

Hey ronald_a ,

We will definitely have this feature in Houdini with a future V-Ray release - it's part of V-Ray Core so bringing it over is, as you've mentioned, a no brainer

Best regards!

Hey Gosho.Genchev,

will this "future release" still be vray5.x? It would be really nice to have that in before vray 6 as this still seems pretty far in the future and I am very certain that we will not move to vray 6 right when it comes out.

I mean maya and max have it with vray5... just saying

This is controlled by SettingsRegionsGenerator::dynbuckets option, it's hidden and was always enabled in Houdini.
So, it works for you in Maya, but not in Houdini?

Hi bdancer, yes it works in Maya but not in Houdini (I just re-checked with the latest nightly). When you say it was always enabled I am wondering if we are talking about the same thing as this has been in Maya for just only two months.

bdancer thanks a lot for enabling adaptive bucket splitting so quickly. This is awesome!
