I’d like to submit some very stratospheric thoughts and concerns I have about the way V-Ray is going and pick your brains on these--both users and Chaosgroup folks. For a few releases now, I’ve been growing slightly uncomfortable about the direction V-Ray has taken in respect to the kind of stuff I…

Sounds a bit odd to me, my scenes are never light either and comparable in complexity to yours (I’m not saying they are as visually pleasing of course) yet Vray doesn’t have any problems with them and I render all of them on my main workstation as well. (dual xeon, 64gb ram). There might be somethin…

I did recently render a very, very simple toilet interior that took HOURS using BF/LC, which was quite a shock, given that the week before I rendered an outdoor scene with billions of polygons (via forest pro) in about 40 minutes using similar settings.

Believe me, I would like nothing more than to be able to stick to V-Ray. I don’t have fun redoing all my shaders every time. Also, I really don’t want to rule out a personal mistake--I’ve been using V-Ray for a long time, but I never bothered much about the tech behind it. I’ll try to pack this lat…

Ok then, will wait for that scene - let me know if you need FTP storage to upload it. Best regards, Vlado

It’ll be a simplified version without the vast forest outside, but hopefully you’ll see right away what the problem with it is.

This got interesting. For the quality and complexity of the scenes of BBB, will be a big challenge for Vlado and his team can help improve performance indoors. Especially when light domes are used. I think many users will be looking forward.

I may well be making rookie mistakes. But even if I do, these are mistakes I’ve been making all along and they didn’t use to be a problem. These days, I have to disable all caustics, remove shadow-casting from glass windows, etc. to get decent speed, and very often, it’s not enough.
