Title: Button - Calculate "Noise Level Now"
Post by: ronaldjung on 2018-07-19, 00:26:54

I think, if possible, would be nice to have a button to calculate noise between the multiple 5 passes.
You hit the button and the noise level is calculate at that moment, or in the next pass change.

What do you think?

You can change how often Adaptivity (and so noise level) is calculated, it's in the devel debug section. Do note, though, that the default of 5 has been chosen deliberately (so that things are efficient), but the option to change it is there - personally, I only change it for debugging purposes (hence the name of the section!) when wanting to watch closely what noise is doing each pass :)

Of course not quite the same as having a button (but why would you want that btw? Could you explain more as to why that would be useful for you?)

Thanks!

I was just rendering a 360 stereo panorama with 4096x4096px and was wondering that this aould be cool to have. The passes were thaking a long time do render.

I already sas and taeaked the parameter in the debug section. But I prefer to keep it in the default.

Well, is nor a real necessity. I was just thinking, maybe more people could find this interesting.

Thanks

Ronald

But I prefer to keep it in the default.

I always use 1 because at some time noise calculation has been rewritten. It's not unlikely that recalc 1 gets "the default". In earlier versions noise calculation took some significant amount of time, this was the reason to introduce the interval. For a 8k image the difference between recalc 5 and recalc 1 is about 0.x percent now, that's worth it imho.


Good Luck

That's interesting to know! Might try and see if i like more frequent noise recalculation better :]
