I’m experiencing some issues with quality. Obviously noise is a pixel to pixel issue so any filtering smooths it out. I’m re-rendering the video with different settings in the hopes it solves it! ---

I don’t know what quality you are aiming at but h.264 as codec is usually pretty solid. ---

Just watched your first video - absolutely fantastic. Seriously. Just from watching it I already learnt a lot. I’m going to rewatch and play with this over the next few days, and hopefully take a serious look at applying this to my next project, which actually is a nice easy one. Well, well, done and thanks for all this great effort 🙂 ---

Yes. I downloaded and watched it, too. Great stuff, and I am looking forward to more. One thing… you mentioned checking, “Use Glossy Rays for Light Cache” and you always check it, but can you explain why? I think, at least for me, I need to know why something is done. ---

Nice video, explains everything very clearly. Now if only I had seen this before spending hours upon hours reading forum threads, dmc sampler explanations and doing tons of testing and figuring it out on my own 😄 Could’ve saved a lot of time an nerves… Anyway - A+ this stuff should be included with each purchase of Vray! ---

Why the hell this was not explain so clearly from Day 1? Just hope it will remain as clear with DMC and other setup on the next video. ---
