Influence of light type on despersive Glass 4

Post by FarbigeWelt »

CPU BiDir, Metropolis 10,8192,2, depth 15, plane Light 0.1 90 deg., 2600 Samples, 540x540, 1h45
CPU BiDir, Metropolis 10,8192,2, depth 15, plane Light 0.1 90 deg., 2600 Samples, 540x540, 1h45
Note, planes emit light in the direction its face normal points.

Again cube light, this time with special emission settings: e.g. face up 25W prio 4, faces around 100W prio 1, face down 500W prio 4 (three materials).
CPU BiDir, Metropolis 10,8192,2, depth 15, cube Light 0.1 90 deg, 4 500x1, 1 100x4, 4 25x1, 511 Samples, 540x540, 13m

There is a shadow on the ceiling that looks like as thrown by the cube light, although its opacity is 0.0.
CPU BiDir, Metropolis 10,8192,2, depth 15, cube Light 0.1 90 deg, 1 100x1, 5 25x5., 292 Samples, 540x540, 7m

CPU BiDir, Metropolis 10,8192,2, depth 15, cube Light 0.1 90 deg, 5 100x1, 1 0.25.x5, 360 Samples, 540x540, 10m

There is one post left, GPU path dispersive glass (maybe with caustics).

Dispersive Pattern, fancy denoised

Post by FarbigeWelt »

GPU Path is a different world.

Whereas CPU BiDir requires objects emitting light, GPU Path wants area lights to show caustics. Finally I thought to have a half way solution setup up for brilliant diamonds. I liked to remove noise and got this :D :
Diamond Briliant, GPU Path Sobol, area light, 5135 S, 5m, denoised 0.75
Diamond Briliant, GPU Path Sobol, area light, 5135 S, 5m, denoised 0.75
This Image is a mix: 0.75 render, 0.25 denoiser (with 0.6,6,6,1).

OMG a lashing tree!
You have a swiss/german blender localization ("Es wird Frühling und die Bäume schlagen aus") with wrong time setting??

Very well observed!

Close but yet not there, 'cause leaves behave strangely due to their connection to source animation.
And yes, sapling tree gen again it is not as parametrizable as Modular Trees, but hey, a lot more predictable and is simple to animate leaves and branches.
There would be a long and stony path ahead of me to animation based on inverse kinematics and skeletons with hundreds of bones. I have no idea how Blender natives manage armatures in 2.79b efficiently.

GPU Path, Dispersive Lenses

Lenses GPU Path, area light, Metropolis, 10000 S, 2160x2160, 1h27m

After 500 samples focused light spot is good visible. Render time is quite long because of depth specular =24.
Lets see later how many samples per MS/s are possible with some improvement.

Solved: Asymetric CPU BiDir slows with every sample

Post by FarbigeWelt »

With the lense scene CPU BiDir depth 12,3 starts with a few hundreds kS/s decreasing with every Sample, after 7 Samples the speed is around 50 kS/s. May it is the asymetric depth setting. Focused spots require 3 light depth only, lense effects take at least 8 eye depth. Lens effects show up very slowly below an area light.

EDIT: Solution here is: Check Metropolis settings.
Metropolis seems to act depending on render engine. After increasing Image Mutation Rate from 0.1% to 5.0% render speed got stable after a short start peak at 245 kS/s.

Image follows:
Lenses, CPU BiDir Metropolis, 48S, 8m, 1620
Lenses, CPU BiDir Metropolis, 48S, 8m, 1620

Wish List: Since I use luxcorerender quiten often, I wished there were a combi-render engine as path and bidir both have their weaks and strengths regarding speed, caustics, speculars, color depth and settings.

Conclusion: Path and BiDir are different and require their own appropriate setting.

I wonder how this would look with greater depth numbers (20-30)?

Is "12, 3" eye and light path length ? For rendering caustics, you should do exactly the opposite (and probably use larger values in general because of the high amount of internal reflections).
