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…

Excellent video full of great tips and info! I also love that you did not just glaze over the problems and how you solved them step by step. It was a nice change since many videos seem to “over-summarize.” Anyway, thanks so much for making it and for free, too. Best regards and thanks!

[image] Has anyone tried an external PCIe expansion box? Hi, First off I want to say a massive thank you to joconnell, what a fantastic run through of your theory that we first talked about in the ‘understanding dmc’ thread, it is a powerful technique for rectifying pesky noise. However I still …

thanks, I’ll try that. on a side note, I had coplanar faces in that first test, sorting that out plus using the (superb) reinhard trick got the render time down to 3.5hrs, still stupid but a fair bit better than 13hrs!!

Yep - big improvement alright! The Reinhard one admittedly does lose some dynamic range in the image but nothing that can’t be added back in with a slight bit of levels or curves in photoshop afterwards.

Massive thank you to you Jon as well to Toni and Akin for all of the contribution to the 3d industry. Vlado can we have this as sticky or even documented into the manual sometime.

More to come Alex, I’ve gotten some good feedback from viewers so I’ll make some adjustments. There’s all the major improvements in vray 3 to come in and other artists are constantly testing and finding new ways to speed things up - exciting times!

Sure. My method isn’t necessarily the only one either, a very smart user called Emanuelle Lecchi is constantly looking at various other methods to simplify this, hopefully he’ll publish something very soon!

Watched this today. Great stuff. Thanks for taking the time to do such a thorough tutorial.
