                Just started playing with it. Put this one on to bake before going to bed last night. 8 hours and it was still baking when I got up.

                  It'll never stop baking. Resolving light paths can go on and on and on.

                  You decide when you happy with the picture.

                  Depending on the engine some will resolve quicker or have other render options that use a biased method to end when complete.

                    Yeah I think I'm getting pretty good stuff after about 5 minutes.

                    this was just about that long.

                      The only thing I would like to see is specular values.

                            That is one of my all time favourites.

                              I imagine that it's hard coded to give spec to anything with transparency. You might be able to fool it using two planes atop one another. I'll test it.

                                  looks like the trick would be good for a mirror but not much else. can't get it far down enough for floors.

                                    My vine work explodes in the viewer? I've seen this before with another program.

                                      That's because Ivy plugin leaf compontents are very poorly assembled.

                                      Investigate and you'll find there are section in them and leaves so small that they a barely visible at full zoom.

                                      TIG has a refined Ivy Tool that doesn't break things and where I fixed the leaves.

                                          it's an old file, I probably have an updated version now. SO all the ivy in that model and there is a ton is no good.

                                            If you are using the supplied leafs with that plugin then I would advise to do some investigating on those components.

                                            It's a long time since I used that plugin but when I did need it I remember querying TIG on some bugs and we discovered the flaws with the leaf components.
