Differences In IPR and Production Render

Hey all

I would post this to the forum, since I’m sure you guys have a lot on your hands but I for some reason wasn’t permitted to write on the forums even though I asked for the permission, anyway. I have drastic differences on when rendering with IPR and when switching to production rendered. Settings are the same. GPU is RTX 2080 with 411.63 driver. Images attached.

Thank you!


By posting your GPU hardware, I guess you are using V-Ray GPU. In V-Ray GPU, IPR uses BF+BF and production uses BF+LC by default (way more GI bounces). About the other differences I’ll need the scene and issues listed one by one.

Oh right. I completely forgot about the calculation methods, I’ll have to check those and see can I get them closer together. Thanks! And yes I am using V-Ray GPU. Next 1.1 version.

How do I actually change the rendering settings for IPR and for when I click “Render Production”?

IPR is BF+BF forced, but you can change the GI method of the production in the Global Illumination rollout. There is also a specific “IPR Ray per pixel” setting in the Performance tab, everything else should be valid for both.
