Formas emisores de luz

[Jorge Javier Lara Domínguez]

Hola a todos, ultimamente he estado trabajando con iluminacion artificial. Me surge duda: afecta la forma del emisor de luz la eficiencia? hace mas lento el proceso de renderizado si un emisor tiene menos o mas caras?

The complexity (the number of faces) of the object used as an emitter will have some effect on the rendering speed.  Probably not very much, though, since I did add some optimization in this area.  The size and shape of the emitter can certainly effect the convergence rate (how many passes are required for the rendering.)  The number of emitters will also effect the convergence rate.

Gracias Roy. Muy amable, como siempre. Entonces  funciona similar a los otros motores de render.

I'm not sure I understand the comment on render engines.  If you're asking whether the relative performance for complex lights is similar across the different engines, the answer is yes, I think so-- the comments with respect to convergence and render speed should remain true.

Exactamente, mi comentario era sobre las similitud. Gracias
