- Remove the, in my opinion, unnecessary IR subsampling (at least by default)
Quote from: lupaz on 2019-10-10, 17:18:24- Remove the, in my opinion, unnecessary IR subsampling (at least by default)Personally i find IR subsampling to be very useful and i certainly don't agree with your opinion. If you don't like it, then turn it off and save the settings as defaults. Problem solved!
How is it useful to you, out of curiosity?
It is easier to see the changes immediately
Didn't find sub-sampling to help much since when IR is slow, this will further obfuscate the image in buffer by making it unrecognizable during those 2 seconds freeze. Without sub-sampling, I can at least directly compare changes.Sometime all those hang-ups in bigger scenes make regular hit/quit rendering a lot faster to facilitate iteration for me.
The link to the video seems to be broken.Maru, wouldn't this "new image interactively blending on top of the old one" does/used to do that anyway?Quote from: maru on 2019-10-11, 10:16:59It is easier to see the changes immediatelyThe changes don't show immediately. You can see big squares of color that hardly tell you much. The composition can be seen on the viewport in real time anyway

the whole IR conundrum is strange. For me, IR was unusable in beginning, in time which people remember oppositely, and it's very smooth right now, and my scenes (while lacking ForestPack, disclaimer) are often gigantic in terms of unique poly and even more instances.Right now I have 2 billion poly scene with CoronaScatter, and it's very smooth, of course, not too helpful since it clears slowly due to having millions of SSS carpet strands in small interior, but still smooth.
I really don't understand what was the need to change it to subsampling. I don't expect you to answer this since you can choose to do anything with your software. It's just a shame that something that was so good was changed. I love Corona and the work that you do is just amazing. So please don't get my criticism and negative, but constructive.Thanks.
maru, i just want to let you know, that not everyone shares lupaz's opinion about IR subsampling. Here's two short videos, that shows how subsampling is extremely useful not only in complex scenes, but in very simple ones as well. Without subsampling, IR is almost completely useless. Please consider this, before making any changes to defaults.
So it looks like having subsampling and blending as choices sounds like a reasonable solution. ;)
