Following VRay’s guide to rendering animations why is it recommended to use IrMap over brute force for an animation in VRay 3.4? is it significantly faster? or are there other factors at play?

Caching is exactly the steps I described. It’s pre-calculating the GI solution, interpolate it, save it and then use it to render the final frames. This is good (IMHO) for animations where only the camera moves. When you have animated characters and/or animated lights, caching becomes problematic, c…

Following on from my previous post, i have completed the tests (BF+LC vs IM+LC). I have re-rendered the IM+LC animation with pre-calculated passes (as per davius3D’s suggestion). Despite the recommendations at the start of this post… i (personally) can see no benefit in producing animations (camer…

The first thing i saw was precisely the flickering on the rosemary plant. But if it floats your boat, and the scenes you have are of this complexity, hey, it wasn’t left in V-Ray by accident: use it.

I would definitely prefer to use the BF+LC workflow that you discussed earlier in the thread. It is certainly a workflow i would like to adopt. However if i want to offer animation as a service, i need to figure out how to half the render times to match IM+LC speed. When deadlines become a reality, …

Well, i can guarantee you i am not an elitist je*k: I (and the Chaos team, most importantly!) really do believe, based on numbers, that the BF/LC as suggested is by far the best, hassle-less, quicker-through-the-door solution we have to offer, bar none. As said before, yes, corner cases, or extreme…

thanks for the comments. Yes. The scene only has an animated camera, so i would expect there to be huge complications if i started animating objects within the scene. With regard to the flickering rosemary. If you look closely that both animations, the flickering is exactly the same on the rosemar…

What are the benefits of locking the noise pattern?

I tend to do a lot of IM/LC for shots. BF does look better but with say 100-300 frames and just a moving cam the look difference is negligible and the time savings are huge. Especially if you have some way to automate setting up the precaching, like set the file and/or submit both render jobs. I ra…
