jjaz82 T&C (Tests and Considerations)

[jjaz82]

hi everyone
yesterday i installed the new Daily Build and i noticed a decrease speed Rays/s from 1,7M to 1,2M, is it normal?

thank you

Nicola

Can you show what the scene contains?

[jjaz82]

yep

[Ondra]

I dont know how much opacity is in the image, but the number can be indeed lower for scenes with multiple twosided/hybrid glass objects/opacity maps/..., even though the overall speed could be faster. So unless you see some big decrease in performance (amount of noise after some time), I would let it be

[jjaz82]

ok, i understand.
I didn't notice a drastic decrease in performance,  numeric only. :)

I would still make sure the new build is not slower. It should definitely not be slower. So it would be great if you could make a test with both builds rendering for the same time and then compare noise.

[jjaz82]

ok.. is it possible have both versions in same time? without have two version of 3ds max?

[jjaz82]

here is a comparative test..

last DB have less Rays/s but more speed.

[jjaz82]

last build.. same file but there is a difference on specular highlight..

[Ondra]

this looks really weird, can you upload the scene here? http://corona-renderer.com/upload/

[jjaz82]

sure!!

[jjaz82]

done

[Ondra]

Are you sure? There is no upload at the server...

[jjaz82]

even now?

[Ondra]

still none. Can you upload somewhere else?

[jjaz82]

I'm trying to reupload

[jjaz82]

done... can you find it?

[Ondra]

no. Just upload it somewhere else and send me the link

[jjaz82]

i uploaded the file.. v_sogg_comp8_5.rar

[Ondra]

ok, the error was caused by your glass being set to hybrid, not twosided. You have to manually update it, since the UI has changed from previous versions

[jjaz82]

very simple

thank you :)

[jjaz82]

hi

can two different versions of corona on distributed  render generate this problem?

both are different version of corona 6.

i used a vray cam..

best regard
Nicola

[jjaz82]

ok i trying with same version of corona, (last daily build) the problem persist..
any advice?

[jjaz82]

little test with forest pack pro 4.2.2

[Ondra]

nice ;)

[jjaz82]

thank you.. Corona "simple + fast = magic" :D

[jjaz82]

An old personal work rendered with corona.. volumetric effect made in post.

[jjaz82]

i noticed this.

if I use DR Mode, Corona stop the render after only 2 minutes of calculation, always..

test  v7 and forest pack

[jjaz82]

other test with a7 and forest pack

i noticed a little speed improvement from a6 :)

[jjaz82]

hi everyone
last DB 10/09/2014
i noticed a strange behaviour with exposure value.. this video show the problem.

hi Ondra

debug allert last daily build

File: C:\Corona\src\CoronaCore/core/RaytracingCore.h
Line: 144
Condition: dot(hitWorld.gNormal(), rayWorld.direction) <= 0.f
Var 1: 2.98023e-008

[Ondra]

this one is probably harmless... but you can still send the scene if you want :D

[jjaz82]

sure.. mail?

[Ondra]

https://corona-renderer.com/upload/ and create a thread for it either here or on mantis

[jjaz82]

Test dof.

hi Ondra
Photographic exposure seems to be solved
Button Start Interactive it's perfect, but if i want change the resolution of interactive mode i must start a normal render, is it a normal behavior?

(lappon forest) forest pack test with last build

I believe you can just drag the interactive render window bigger, and it will adjust resolution.

[jjaz82]

this is an old bug solved recently.
