Hope you like it It has reached Level 17, but it's still a bit noisy. Sunlight + Sun and one emitter.

[Hervé]

hey Kay... real nice superb render !

where did U placed the emitter... is it a large one..? it sure helps pixels in the dark to clean faster (aka noiseless)... I am doing a similar scene, but at 17L, it is still way more noisy..

btw.... how did you make thebackground picture?

Nice setup for wood. Maybe the enviroment outside is too bright

Hervé, I have placed the emitter on the opposite of the windows, it's about 2 x 2 meter in dimensions, 500 Watt. I think it would have been better if I had scale it larger to get less noise.

thanks ! here is a result at 17L... without any emitter, just sky & sun, as you can see it will take quiet a few levels to get rid of the noise...

Looks good so far! I think at that level it will be difficult to get rid of the noise though. Same problem as in my image.

So I think the formula is:

Less light - more noise. More light - less noise

Ah, and I forgot to say that the background image is composited

[Hervé]

Thanks SMS... !

wow.. nice!

but i have question about you said.

sunlight + sun, one emitter? what is mean you said? what is sunlight, and what is sun?

[sms]

Sorry for the confusion. I meant sunlight with sun activated and an extra emitter inside the room.

[Jun In Gi]

thanks

did't you use Physical sky? just turn on sunlight?

[sms]

Yep, Physical sky. That's what I meant And sun activated plus an emitter.
