render with V-Ray fully adaptive (like Maxwell / FryRender)?

[toby]

Is it possible to set up V-Ray fully adaptive, to imitate a raytracing calculation those renderers like Maxwell or FryRender do?

I’ve set up V-Ray like described in the Help Files, but what confuses me is the following note

@http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/150SP1/tutorials_pathtracing.htm#notes

• The only parameters of the DMC sampler that are taken into consideration are Adaptive amount and Time-independent. Never set the Adaptive amount parameter to 0.0 when using path tracing, since this will bring the rendering to a halt.

Yep, this is described in the tutorial that you linked.

I’ve set up V-Ray like described in the Help Files, but what confuses me is the following noteChanging the “Adaptive amount” influences some of the choices that V-Ray takes when rendering. Set it to 1.0 to emulate the aforementioned renderers.

It is described, sure.

And now, darkness is enlightened

Thank you, Vlado
