In V1.x instances intersecting objects and other instance created a condition that increased rendering time by a lot. (I'm talking about having a benchmark of 300-400 reduced to 30-35 after adding instances).

Is this still a problem with v2.x?

thanks!

no, not really....

intersecting emitters with geometry, and even instances, doesn't seem to hurt it as much either.
here's what a standard overnight render can produce (on a dual x5355) given the scene has a fair amount of instances.



here's a crop out from it's full res mother at 6k which sat for a weekend on my little setup consisting of (1) 2.6 x5355 and (2) 1.8 e5 something or others...
there's all kinds of shit intersecting in this scene, a lot of which are instances intersecting with emitters. and a lot of those instances have a sssss layer



hope this is helpful, leo

great work there Tom

wondering though .. what are these trampoline-sunshades??

how many polys in total ?

This is only thing that I care if I wanted to upgrade... so yes, you have been very helpful

Sorry to be off topic, but I wanted to stop by and say that I like this rendering.
It only looks a bit too flat/desaturated and maybe a bit too lambert in general.
I did this version in PS quickly, I think i reminds me more now of highgloss magazines and the like. Of course it might all be exactly like the client wanted, I know I did the strangest things to renderings.

Agreed to Ben. The scene really has an interesting energy but it needs more material work. Very cool!

that does look better. thanks for stopping by and taking the time to post that.
very useful advice gentlemen

Looks so real!
