Progressive render: Vray/Corona

V-Ray for 3ds Max V-Ray for 3ds Max :: General

I haven’t really used progressive rendering for production in vray before so bare with me.

If I set vray noise threshold to 0.0 and set max render time of 6 hours will it just render for 6 hours? Min and max subdivs at default 1-100.

In Corona, I can just set noise threshold to 0.0 and my max time limit and not worry about subdivs. I just want to mimic this in vray.

Thanks

It will render until all pixels reach the 100 subdivs or the render time reaches the limit of 6 hours, whichever happens first.

You can set the max subdivs to some high value that can’t be reached for the specified time, f.e. 1000 which is 1 million samples for each pixel. This way it will stop on the time limit.

Of course, noise threshold of 0 disables the adaptive sampling and will waste a lot of time on areas that don’t need much sampling.
