Daily Builds 1.7

[romullus]

Tried the new build - uv mapping still not working with H&F. Did i miss something?

[Ondra]

I will have to check, but AFAIK autodesk said we are using it correctly and there is bug in H&F (aka: unfixable)

[romullus]

Ah lovely, Autodesk again. Do they have single line of code that would contain no bugs in it :[

I'm not loosing all the hope though, since it seems that Vray somehow managed to get it work.

Oh no....

Wow, just installed Daily on my 3ds 2012 and it works like a charm;) thx for keeping support!

[Nekrobul]

IDK if that should be so, but it seems that somehow Vray maps and multiscatter maps disapeared from supported maps list in the latest daily build X_x

i hate to say this again, but I am facing tons of product shot renders which will need to use for-compositing alpha mode in shadow catcher material.
dev team, I don't see this problem planned in corona trello but I remember ondra already started a little development progress for this problem.
ondra would you please create a 1.7 trello card for this optimization..

Hi, Ondra.

Why you're comparing picture times from absolutely different Pcs (8-thread server with 48-thread workstation) in the latest build https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,15845.msg106441.html#msg106441?

Because this is not time comparsion but a demonstration of a difference in the images.

well, because we have different machines in the office ;). The only thing that changes is the noise, so equal pass comparison is fair in this case

Attaching before/after images - they are (+-5%) rendered in the same time - disregard renderstamp, as they were rendered on different machines

I can attest that not only this new daily build 2017.8.1 shaves off about 3-5% render times but reaches a much lower noise level with the same amount of passes. Setting a 6% noise level limit for a particular scene for instance, 1.6.2 reaches 5.89% while the new daily build reaches 4.71% it does this by being about 4% faster in rendertime.

latest build always crashing on render end in production render or canceling on interactive. max2016
