I have noticed the Progressive Render is the default render, but I am rarely seeing it used in any of the examples by Chaos Group. Is the Progressive Render used for only certain occasions?

Some people like it, some people don’t find much use for it. Personally, I don’t use it. It’s not faster, and might be slower, however you can set a time limit on it. Why it is default? I am not sure. I know Vlad likes it and he has a little influence :slight_smile:

It’s great for test rendering, especially when testing compositions and lighting! Because it’s progressive you get an instant idea of what general things are doing and if you want to let it refine further, to make out a bit more detail, then you can! Rather than setting up draft quality settings, t…

Progressive sampler is fantastic because you get very quickly a workable render to set and adjust lighting and also roughly adjust materials. On my main workstation, dual xeon, it works great and I even did some final renders with it. But when doing distributed rendering it’s another story : it’s s…

works ace in DR mode here Peter…unsure why its not working for you? I am getting clean Full HD frames in 13 minutes in my interior renders here over the DR EDIT: actually i never used progressive without DR let me try runnign it on one machine a nd compare times :slight_smile:

might work ok with small scenes, but with the scene i am working on the slaves never use full cpu utilisation when rendering… but they work great on bucket mode. I have experimented with a higher ray bundle size to no avail

yes its miles faster using DR than single machine so it must be working i guess

99 percent on all participating machines. Regular interior scene, equipped kitchen and living room, lots of glossies etc… No plugins used though…perhaps its caused by some 3rd party plugins such as Forest?

I also don’t have full cpu itilisation when using DBR and progressive image sampler. Using Max2016 and Vray 3.40.02 Buckets are fine - all machines run at 100% but cant get more than around 30 - 50% when using progressive dbr to other machines. Shame - as I really like it as an image sampler - ve…
