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] camera: changing f-numer / shutter / ISO - automatic calculation I’ve not really thought this through, but you know how the Max subdivs value effectively divides all scene subdivs on materials/lights/GI etc by whatever the value is? Couldn’t there be a value in brackets after each subdiv …

I got to say I’m liking this idea more and more. Though I must admit I have not managed to think the ramifications through completely. I guess I trust Chaos and some of you guys to take care of the issues :slight_smile: Here’s hoping for some UI cleanup :wink:

So I’ve been using this method on my last few projects and while things started out positive, the render times seem to be creeping up to an unacceptable level again. I am fairly comfortable with how to adjust things to achieve a nice noise free image, and how to decrease render quality globally to g…

I’ve just finished writing an in-depth tutorial on the subject at hand. It was pieced together from posts that have long since been buried in this huge thread, and expanded upon to be a bit more thorough. I’d love to hear your guys thoughts! The Tutorial and A separate thread for the tutorial H…

[image] linear workflow in V-ray for Maya - still confused! I’ve just finished writing an in-depth tutorial on the subject at hand. It was pieced together from posts that have long since been buried in this huge thread, and expanded upon to be a bit more thorough. I’d love to hear your guys tho…

[image] A Quantized-Diffusion Model for Rendering SKIN and Translucent Materials It’s actually the exact opposite - the diagram is correct. Rays originate from the camera, find the geometry, and then sample the light. Otherwise there would be countless amounts of rays being fired out from the l…

Can we already upgrade this thread for Vray 3? With the min shading rate etc. So the “NEW” method is to leave everything at deafult of 8, but only change min shading rate and dmc min/max? Or did I totally misread that?

Better to start a new tread (named accordingly), as it would be extremely confusing for any newcomers stumbling into this. My guess it will all be scrapped anyway later on if Chaos implement the redesigned and (in my opinion) far superior sampling and GUI cleanup that Akin outlined in another threa…

I think the rays should be drawn backward for the light sources, since I think their rays are traced from light to surface to camera.
