Noise difference between nightlies

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

Heya

Quite interesting thing I've spotted. I was updating my farm and I forgot to change 1 slave build to a newest one.

Now the result was only in reflection pass and the older build was actually better than the latest one. It looked like it rendered just as fast(I didnt do any hard comparisons) but it was a lot cleaner... maybe its worth checking it out ?

Scene and image:

I've uploaded compressed HDR, if you cant reproduce it maybe you need the uncompressed one...

Nightly with less noise : 20130323
Nightly with more noise : 20130511

Thanks, bye.

That's why we always recommend using the same Vray version for all farm-machines
I'll run the same test here and I'll post the result afterwards.

[Svetlozar Draganov]

Yes - I got the same result.
I will forward the case to our Developers Team.

Heya

Yup that was the idea. I'm glad I found it by accident... The early nightly looked a lot more cleaner than the later 1 so maybe quick tweak and we can get cleaner reflections back in the game

Thanks, bye.
