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…

[image] High-carb No luck my end I’m afraid. Switching back on my materials just stopped vray rendering any buckets at all, even after 10-15 minutes. I tried changing my GI method from BF back to something I’m more familiar with, LC/IRmap. The GI calculated quite quickly, but again, no buckets re…

[image] Having a solid, still body of water, and affecting it with particles Anyway RockinAkin - That’s great explanation. As it goes for DMC calculator, are you sure it’s correct at the moment for min shading rate? It seems like it’s still adaptive for secondary samples and it’s more like minimu…

[image] HDRI light studio - amazing live plug feature Hmmm - I’ve confirmed this behavior on my end as well. I’ll look into it further and will update the formula to fix it. Great Akin! p.s. Thank you for the calculator, it’s very helpful.

No Problem! I just updated the calculator with an updated formula for Min Shading Rate. Let me know how it works on your end! (You may need to fully refresh the browser window and cache).

[image] vray renderelements to 2013 state stes compositor output It would be interesting to see how V-Ray 3.0 handles this. Do you think you can maybe get me the scene to play with it? Best regards, Vlado I will see what I can do when I get a moment.

I may be having a breakthrough moment here. Managed to drop down my light subdivs. The biggest culprit were vraymesh lights. Once I went back to my old-fashioned methods of using vraylight materials, those issues went away. I have also reduced the reflection depths of most/all materials to 1 or some…

I managed to get a full size (4000px) render done in around 1.5hrs using about 6x i7 machines. Its a simplified model with all the furniture removed. The elements look pretty clean - even the samplerate element looks ok. Still areas of red on edges and on areas of my timber floor, but not bad overal…
