10 minute unbiased render test

Solo · **Posted:** Tue Jan 19, 2010 6:03 pm

As I wait to give the biased engine a good run this week, I have accumulated a bunch of scenes ready to test.
I decided to test one with Thea's unbiased engine while I wait, but only running for 10 minutes (I get bored of watching a render after that).

I post the original render size, the render was run with only sun and an alpha channel, the desert is post added, all else is mesh.

I used an i7, 12Gb ddr3 RAM, set on low priority (if that even effects speed I dunno)

Forget about the render composition or setup, the point is the speed.

That's rather impressive. How 'bout a studio one using emitter planes?

LOL, emitters are very fast, in fact I think they are faster than omni's.

Nice! Can't wait to see some biased tests as well.

I really think the vote on render speed has been addressed beautifully. Probably a dumb question, but how much slower would a couple of ies lights be if used in a night or low light condition in that particular render?

Obviously slower, just curious as to how much...

Yep, I wonder that too. The sun is not always shining through a window.

please correct me if i am wrong.

i thought for unbiased rendering, the longer the render time the better quality of the end results. how did you guess 10 minutes is enough to get this quality?

i like your lighting setup, nice speed test.

I guess it is up to oneself to turn off the render when one feel its finished.
The picture looks pretty good to me
