Hi, I was hoping someone can have a look over these two elements, both are from the same scene but using different DMC sampler settings, and perhaps give me an insight as to what is going on. This first one is 1/50, clr thresh 0.007 This second one is 1/16 clr thresh 0.003 I follow with interest…

That’s strange. I just applied your (new) settings to a test scene of mine. But in my case the increase of dof subdivs made the render faster and the samplerate channel darker. Even went till 100subdivs :open_mouth: Oh by the way. These are killer settings, rock on!

This is what I was able to get within 1 hour range using 2 single computers Intel Xeon W3520 @ 2.67GHz, 12 GB DDR3 @ 534MHz Settings were: Adaptative DMC image samples Min/Max 10/128, Clr thresh:0,05 Color mapping: Reinhard - 1,0; 0,0; 2,2 (Sub-pixel mapping + Affect background Ticked) Primary…

Hi 3LP, I don’t have much experience with HRDI maps and I would like to have your help to understand the values you use in your scene. Overall mult: 0,025 and Render mult: 1000 of the Peter’s HRDI map, are those recomended settings? What should they produce? Can you explain me why you use those in…

Yeah sure, Because I would like to actually see the HDRI in the material editor, I need for most of the HDRI to change the overall mult. Once you have a decent image which is not completely white, you can actually use that to place you HDRI like you want in the viewport through the environment slo…

yep, what Stan said. In general it was a bit of a happy accident with my skies that leaving the intensity at 1 meant that when you use a vrayphysicalcamera you can more or less use ‘real world’ values like f8, 1/200th ISO 100 and the exposure won’t be too far off. So when I start a scene I usually…

Its a plan view. So if you load one of my skies with vrayHDRi and leave the rotation at 0deg then the sun will be shining east to west

Here’s a good read folks, 3dLight A Virtual Lighting Blog, generally revolving around GI rendering and Maya Adaptive Amount= .9 is really handy I think over .85.

This is what I came up with Stan. As you can see the main speed gain is from the reinhard burn and light cache settings, but then to go from 3 hrs to 33 mins with the new settings is pretty impressive too. So the actual settings I used were: DMC Image Sampler min 2, max 32 clr threshold 0.01 S…
