[Max] Resolved Bugs / VCM not so efficient with blurry refractions? (fireflies bzzzzzz)
« on: 2013-11-19, 05:06:03 »
Hi,
I'm new here and verry impressed thus far!
I was verry curious to see how the newish VCM method would perform (this is the main reason i decided to try corona).
Most tests i've seen use perfect glossy reflections/refractions and i find glossy/blurry glass sexy, i thought id test for myself how vcm handles it.
I found out it seems to be quite less efficient with blurry glass...
...or is it a bug? I wonder, because the fireflies have strange positioning (surrounding the object like a glow?)
Anyway, from all the tests i've seen with VCM i thought this render should've been 'done' by now, but clearly its not... (still rendering though, havent cancelled it yet).
Maybe it's me doing it wrong? Mostly using default settings though...
i have a small request/suggestion regarding this too: something like vray's 'affect shadows' option for refractive materials would be verry usefull for fast transparent shadows!
