Hi folks, I just recorded a wee video of how I approach cleaning up a vray render in a predictable way. Its a very nasty scene with the bad scenario of a smallish window for the light to get in through so it requires some fairly high sampling to clean up. It doesn’t cover how sampling works in this…

Can you upload the files scene so others can have a go at it too maybe?

Awesome work on the video John! Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

with the script you mentioned :slight_smile:

17 hours for that is madness. Count me in as one who’d love to have a go. Solid process though - just much bigger numbers involved than i’m used to :slight_smile:

[image] Wordpress social - like, +1, tweet, pinterest etc Yes, definitely. I was rendering a similar scene today and it took no more than 1h for perfect results. Best regards, Vlado I’ll pop you a scene to your chaos email, of course now I’m crapping myself incase I left anything embarrassin…

I havent had 17h arch viz render since 2008 :slight_smile: I wonder what went wrong here hehe

First of all Joconnell, thanks for your work, very interesting. About rendertimes, in my opinion, yet cheking subpixel on, u could get good improvements in therms of speed. Then for other parameters to optimize, I have to watch carefully the other settings u used. Do u have high depth values in ref…

So here’s a first test; I didn’t test how long the original set up renders on that machine though; I just went straight to BF+LC (LC reverted to default settings, only left subdivs to 2000 and “use light cache for glossy rays” on) and your basic universal settings. This is with V-Ray 3 though, will…

Here is a second attempt; only difference is “min shading rate” is 8, to put more samples on the lights/materials/GI rather than AA. Much cleaner for only slightly longer render time. Best regards, Vlado [jc_vlado_univ_8_sr.jpg]

Yeah, to be fair it was a jump to really unoptimized settings on the materials so quite a dramatic change!
