Will two added irradiance maps with overlaps contain errata?

If calculating accumulated irradiance maps from say frame 0-50 and frame 40-100 out of the same animation sequence and adding these two, will it contain erronous data or will duplicate data be filtered away?

I haven’t had the chance to test this out yet so I was kinda hoping someone would have the answer :slight_smile:

Thanks

If you always use the “Incremental add to current map” mode, then new GI samples will be computed only if there isn’t already sufficient data in the irradiance map.

A small doubt that I have…
Let’s say that then I add to the scene a small sphere, and then I render it again with “incremental add to current map”, VRay will need to calculate the whole scene’s GI, won’t it???

Thanks again
