Why the hell did you use max ray depth 8?
Can you post another render with no additional contrast for comparison?
I would use PT+HD in this case.

btw, does material override affect portals, too?

Thanks crawlewis. You render looks so sharp that I thought you removed the image filter to add some sharpness.

Interesting that you didn't use any Photographic Exposure. Great result.

- Because 25 ray bounces in my opinion is to much for this scene. I don´t have use portals.
- With PT+PT I get more details. but I will try to HD Cache.
but I'm here to learn, and of course open to suggestions.

Where do I find this filter?
Title: Re: Romantic - First tests
Post by: CiroC on 2014-06-19, 21:30:29
Under VFB Settings -> Image Filter

Why? Do you even know what it does? What is the difference in comparison to default?

I don´t have use portals.
You should. It shouldn't give you any visual difference but should speed up your rendering about 3-5 times. :)

This isn't correct. Zero is just another exposure value, like 1 or -1 or any other number.

3-5 times speed up from portals alone? Are you sure?

So, what is the benefit of using Photographic Exposure? Using the Global Camera settings?
Title: Re: Romantic - First tests
Post by: romullus on 2014-06-19, 23:00:37
There's no benefit nor drawback. You are using it all the time, want it or not.
It really helps to have at least basic understanding what Exposure and Exposure Value (EV) is:

Exposure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_%28photography%29)
EV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_value)
Title: Re: Romantic - First tests
Post by: Ondra on 2014-06-20, 00:32:55
For EV you should really link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_value#Exposure_compensation_in_EV because in Corona it is a relative value.

Yes, I know. It´s about light bounces.

I had already tested these parameters, and therefore decided not to use portals, I knew that HD cache it´s faster, but it depends on the quality I seek also, so I decided to use PT + PT. Here are the pictures of the comparison.

But I appreciate the tips, it is always good to try new possibilities.

I still don't get it why you changed max ray depth... And with this portal 3-5x speed-up I didn't mean time required to do given amount of passes but time required to get rid of noise.

Yes, I igree and switch Max ray depth to default 25. About portals, I did not see much difference between tests, maybe this occurs because this scene has lots of windows.

Thanks again for tips. :)
