Sounds interesting, but I cant see this in the near future. I personally dont know anybody who would work in unreal for archviz. There are to many functions missing, plugins, also modeling is a whole different thing and all the 3d assets.

What render farm are you using ?

I am using garagefarm, the support is very good and fast the most times, maybe you could try. You have free trial when you register there. Give it a try, other than that, I dont know what can cause that problem.

After set the UHD Cache to "Animation (flicker-free)", I would leave the "Precomputation" on "Calculate from scratch" and "After render" on "Discard".

You will loose few seconds on each frame, but this method is the safest for me. Never had issues this way and you should have no problems on a renderfarm.

That lut should be from the dubcat thread. I have reuploaded it, if you want to try it out.

you are a magician ... very beautiful.

Not really, but thank you! :D

I guess the saying 'less is more' really applies here then :)

There's something about this overcast lighting that makes it stand out from some other archviz renders here on the forum. Really seems like you just walked around the apartment with your phone or some average camera and filmed it.

Its often the case that the simplest lighting methods have the best results. One strong keylight from one side and strong shadows.

I have used area lights in front of the windows but put them really high for that special mood. You can find a video on my channel, where I show how I did the realistic camera movement and how I create the lighting.

May I ask what lighting you are using? Is this jsut an overcast HDRI?
What sort of blur/sharpening settings are you using?

This has blown me away. The animation is breathtaking!

Thank u much! It should be possible with an overcast sky, but in this case I have used only area lights. The "blur/sharpening" effect in the tonemapping where off. You can see my tonemapping also on my channel, on my "how to" video for this animation.

Thank you for your kind words. To be true there is no postpro. Only Tonemapping in Corona, nothing spectacular.

The noise is much more evenly distributed across the image, making it less noticeable

Thank you much for your comment!

I think you can check out comparisons at the bottom of the following topic: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=26830.0

Here they are:
https://corona-renderer.com/comparer/SA0Yk5
https://corona-renderer.com/comparer/qJ9rGu

I have checked the samples, looks very promising. Thank you!

...
What kind of speed improvement can we expect and are there more informations, how you will achieve a more flickernes result, compared to "flicker-free animation" preset in the uhd cache? Will this new light solver be 100% flickerfree safe in every situation?

If I recall correctly the V-Ray's updated Light Cache (which Corona is based on I presume) solves the flickering by using the new "hash map" type instead of the older "KD tree".

Can't find the comparison video right now but it was in one of Vlado's presentation I think.

Very interesting! I have found this on vimeo

Hey,

are there more informations at the moment about "blue noise dithering", maybe some before after examples? :D

Or is it to early at the moment? The roadmap says, that it is already finished. I am very excited about this!

What can we expect, for example "1pass" will look like 5-10passes noise in the previous versions of corona?

I am also very excited about the upcoming "new secondary light solver"!

Hey,

I want to post an older project. I made a small animation for this scene and I want to share it with you.
