this should help with lwf

The script simplifies the process for LWF until we can get our hands on SP3 which will have a LWF button.
I explain the workflow on the 3rd page of the thread
I adjusted Peter’s scene a little (sacha’s link at the top had different windows ?
)…
-turned off DE
-adjusted the Imap a little
-lowered the LC to 1000 and turned off “store direct light” (this was giving you some odd highlights at the window sills).
I think I left everything else the same. Rendertimes are from a C2Q 9550.

Woah, looks very clean! I´ll check it out right now!
Yeeeh, the windows aren´t different, but the camera. The VRayPhysicalCamera behaves very different in different world-units…
"turned off ‘store direct light’ " - ouf, seems that this has also heavy impact - I never dared to play with this because I do not know what it does :roll:.
Here is my last try:
This is what I call perfect - high rendertime, but perfect…
What I found out is switching the LightCache from 8 passes to 2 passes saves a lot of memory - this way I was able to use much higher settings on the LC without crashing Max.
Now I´ll check your settings, dlparisi…
…back in some minutes…
I needed the Clone.dlm plugin which Peter was not using… Looks the same now.
Ooops, yep…
…and I adjusted it a little more…
Here dlparisis settings:
Veeery good and even on my machine very good rendertime.
And here I pimped the LC a little:
Again perfect with very good rendertime…
That´s f****** amazing…
dlparisi: Thank you very much, the “store direct light”-option was a very good hint!
So I´m happy, if someone can optimize this even more - I´ll go completely mad! :lol:
