render image after irradiance map

is there a way to render the irrad map but not the frame (for when I’m creating the Irrad. map) I want to render a final quality later so I really don’t need the renderings when I’m using incremental add (except to maby check eatch frame)

at the moment I have the settins:
AA fixted rate (defult)
image size half origonal
Min/max to sample more the full size image (ends up being the same size)

the idea is that I can create the Irradiance map faster if I didn’t have to render the frame after it.

An old V-Ray trick is to under sample the AA with adaptive at -4/-4 for the imap pass

Thanks RE… I guess at the moment that’s about all I can do :frowning:

I agree it would be nice to render the solution by itself

“render the solution by itself”

thats the language I was trying to use :slight_smile:

How about rendering the IR map over several computers, not just one. That would be nice.

Actually I think thats in the works but they have to get the rest running first :wink:

and what about filtering maps? are you going to get a difference if you check off filter maps (but leaving maps checked)?

rendering the IR map over several computers
that would be great :slight_smile:
