Feels like every time I make some progress something else comes up. It can't be this difficult to set up an interior scene with Octane, makes no sense.

I managed to reduce render times, and got DL AO working, as well as diffuse with low render times, but now, depending on where I place my camera, I ...

Hallo,

Did you try the old model in the daylight tag with Directlighting and GI_AMBIENT_OCCLUSION? Without the emissive walls..
Not super realistic but very fast...

Hey Andreas, Yes I did. My ceiling don't get any light bounces, therefore they look very bad. I just got to the office ...

There is a cheat which seems to reduce noise and render times by 70% but you have to be carefull because it can make your render look flat. I think if you can balance this technique out. It should work.
This technique was aimed at interior scenes and suggested by a user RyanRoye in the Lightwave ...

These are main tips to get better render times and less noise. Always evaluate and change illumination sources to see differences. There's no exact one solution. It can be differ by scenes and objects.
I hope some artist see this topic and post better explanations for you.

Thanks Aoktar, seems ...

Spending the your time on everything and testing will help much to understand how works and affects the things. Your render times are crazy long for this kind of scene.

Don't use high poly counts on emissive geometry.
Don't put them under transparent objects.
Use lowres dummy objects for ...

Yes, and I have also read the documentation and FAQ's posts, nothing seems to help. Increasing samples doesn't help. Any tips you can give me? any other information you need to see to help me out?

Hey all, C4D Forum seems to be locked for new posts, and I really need help.

Rendering interior scene, cloning Octane lights on the ceiling, and there's a window with a daylight system outside. For some reason render is super noisy between the ceiling and the walls, no matter what I do.
