First of all I have tried corona briefly, and Im really impress with the potential so far, so thanks a lot for the hard work!

Now to the issue, im rendering a scene for an animation, and im having relatively great results with corona in quality vs time compared to my usual renderer. My issue is that my frame renders are about one hour long, and Im willing to make them last twice as long to get better quality as the noise is still a bit bothersome; I had set the settings to have 150 passes and it rendered in about 1 hour, then increased them to 200, and still render in the same time, and quality was basically same, then i increased it to 300 and same result... is there a limit on how many passes really will be used, and after that increasing them will not do anything?

Thanks for your help, will continue to do some more tests,

M.

UPDATE: As i said im still getting used to corona, so it seems that there was a time limit that had been set up at some point; so i will disable that and test again

There is no limit, but this is a problem of unbiased rendering: you will get diminishing results with it. To make the images twice less noisy, you have to wait 4 times as long.
