New Build (281)

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Path Tracer has been significantly rewritten with respect to daylighting, particularly for interiors.  Hopefully we get faster convergence (per pass times may be a little slower.) Please test carefully-- this is a major change.

 

See what's new.

thank you very much!

[Alejandro Testa]

Thanks, I will test in some interior images and see how it goes.

Looks promising after only 66 passes. Maybe because this is my first render with this build but i have the impression that saturation is much lower. I turned it up to maximum to have this result.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Nothing should have changed re: saturation or color bleed.  There may be more skylight present which is neutral by default.

Hi, I am testing 281, after 50 passes  here is how it goes,   I think each pass is  around 30 % slower  that the previous version.  I turn off sun an sky channels.

Still better than having to wait till about 1000 passes.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

The artificial lighting has not changed.  Only the daylighting.

Pruebas de Proceso el archivo Rec 280, corresponde a la version 280 de nxt, tuvo un tiempo de proceso de 16 hrs con 380 pases. El archivo Rec 281, corresponde a version 281 de nxt, tuvo un timepo de proceso de 14 hrs con 145 pases. Que opinan? espero sus comentarios.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Hard to compare these two-- the sun angles are different.  Convergence is better on the top image.

[Jorge Javier Lara Domínguez]

Si roy la convergencia es mejor, y aunque pareciera qeu es mas lento el proceso, necesita menos ases par un mejor resultado. Saludos

[Marc Chaumier]

281 looks better.

There is more good effect on the indirect light, more natural on the ceiling near the window, thank you!
