Testing Vray, need visopts

Something odd happening with your AA sampler selection, see the fringing?

If I had a penny every time I said this: " check clamp output and sub-pixel mapping" , those are white values, bigger then 255. V-ray just doesn't know how to represent them.
What do you say guys, Pete has resigned ?

Weird. I've rendered with both unchecked without problems -or so I think. I should delve into this as soon as I get my new machine.

Exactly right! Thanks Stefan - I didn't think to check that. Here it is with both checked.

What do you mean? Portals?

Tom - I changed the GI from sky texture to none, and increased the multiplier to 4.5. I also decreased the sun intensity to get less harsh shadows where you do see the sun in the interior.

Nope, watching y'all discuss stuff, quietly carring on on my side.

Thanks for all the links guys.

I hope you get up to speed in time for beta to start. The next version has a bit more pep in it's step.

It's our puny screens rather - if you want to use higher bitdepth for post editing you cannot use the clamp feature. But you'll get the full range of light data.

actually, it was just the sub-pixel mapping that was needed. It renders fine with clamping off. Good point about not clamping output - even if you don't save to HDR, you can't use the levels adjustment in the vfb if something is blown-out.
