Post 1... its a great excercise. If you manage to render this... everything else is just a game.
I'm starting to give up. XD.
I know for shure changing anything from main settings only makes it worse.
Bucket mode cleans up a little better but not so much.
Progresive PT/PT not at all.
Fact 1: increasing image filter size to a ridiculous amount blurred the noise but blurries all. (Not good).
Fact 2: Raw power: Distributed render can't deal with animations. So no motion Blur.
Fact 3: External renderfarm: requires at least 2 euros for frame just to make it look usable.(If client pays... ).
Fact 4: Custom bokeh with soft edges improves a little an noise is less evident. (Just dims it).
Fact 5: Only Motion Blur-> no issues. FAST.
Fact 6: Only DOF -> noisy and difficult to clean.
Fact 7: Only motion blur pass with DOF Zdepth-> Photoshop... gross.
Fact 8: Same as 7 in after effects--- > better that photoshop... but gross at the end.
Fact 9: Out of ideas.... anyone?
I think that the myth that Corona can render this in reasonable time is ....
XD
