Ok, I played around with the step size. I set it to 2000cm, which sounds like quite a high number to me, but it seems to be rendering fine and I am getting 1 500 000 rays now.
That is a huge improvement!

[Max] I need help! / [solved] Inside Volume Mode - Extremely slow

« on: 2019-02-27, 14:04:31 »

Hi All,

Is the new Inside Volume mode for fog supposed to be this slow or am I doing something wrong? I have used the standard fog before and though I experienced a big drop in performance it was still usable and not nearly as substantial is this.

I am experiencing a drop from 8 000 000 rays to just 25 000 when I enable the volume fog with inside mode enabled
That is an insane drop in performance.

My scene is lit using an hdri. I have tried just using sun and sky and experienced the same drop in performance.
My fog is applied to a cube that sits almost right in front of the camera.

My specs are as follows.

AMD Threadripper 1
128 GB DDR4 Ram
GTX 1070.

Hi All, thanks for all the positive feedback!

@Jack, I completely agree regarding people, I really don't like using them, but as you said clients almost always want them.

@Bzuco, Lol I am glad you did not spot any, there are actually a few glitches, but the deadline was tight and in the end we just had to get it out.

@mutilo, @LuckyFox, Thank you!

@RolandB, Thank you, It is actually an early morning scene just after sunrise and I made the decision to turn all the interior lights off.

Unfortunately, the client needs to do some last minute adjustments. We will re upload when ready.
