How can I use "monte carlo"
What the diferences between the monte carlo and the sandpaper sorted in the Bumps ?

The noise created by Monte Carlo is temporary-- it should eventually converge to smooth lighting if you let it cook long enough (and the material is smooth). The noise generated by the bump maps is permanent and will not resolve.

The sandpaper bump useful for modeling rough surfaces-- Monte Carlo is only useful in some very specific situations-- I would use the Path Tracer instead if you want a more precise calculation.

Roy, please, could you point me to the place where it is described when and why should I choose Monte Carlo?

If you go to the Render settings tab you can select the Default or Path Tracer. Select the path tracer.

I know. But I thought Monte Carlo is not being used generally in pathtracer. I thought I have to choose Monte Carlo as a shader in the material definition - my question was rather: Under which circumstances should I do so?
-

Oh, yes under reflection type. Monte carlo is there. I have used monte carlo for situations that the default tracer creates big hard reflective brightspots that take a long time to resolve. I have seen it on table tops with a reflective finish that is high intensity and low sharpness, in a scene that has many small light sources in it.

Some info here. Not applicable to the Path Tracer. It does a nice job w/ blurry reflections of light sources but does slow stuff down a lot. Really can take a long time to converge with glossy surfaces.

thank you. So, if I understand well, once I use pathtracer, I do not have to worry about MonteCarlo...

Correct. None of the other reflection shaders will make a difference either.

"Found 'Textured Mesh Support' only works with obj and 3ds Files which do not contain PBR Maps.
To 'obj' converted newer 3ds do not render in nXt :-("
OBJ Plant Issue - Diffuse Maps
Hi to anyone;maybe a similar issue as Mr.Holz announced recently, (PBR Texture question):-added a obj. plant via 'Textured Mesh Objects' widget-reassigned maps (materials showed up, but with no maps attached, (although mtl. files are in the same folder as corresponding maps and obj files)-tried to render (see 'result')So my question is: Does anybody knew about how to handle Diffuse Maps in nXt, i suspect there is no interpretation of the UV-Coordinates?Any hints and help kindly appreciated!…See More

"Thanks for your kind words.
Yes, all plants are generated with nxt plant-editor.
I have used leaves from Marc Chaumier's plant library.

"Very nice piece. Brilliant work.
Are all these plants nxt render plants ?
They look very good. Ground cover is so thoughtful."
"Thank you so much."
"Sorry, do not exactly how to do it right.
If i sent you one or sets, could you "compose" one material as an example?
Maybe this is interesting for others too.."
