plus, it's worth mentioning the usual car render seems to be quite forgiving in terms of noise. by usual i mean a car on a plane, lit by an hdri. (i guess that's why most of the tech-demos of render engines sport a car render at one point or another...).
the real "pain-in-the-ass-render-scenarios ...

nice one proupin.
i stand corrected.

i don't think that's the best approach proupin - and would just introduce a LOT of noise.

i think you might be wrong there ello - if i understand you correctly that is.
a diffuse material still bounces light. a small tube does so too.

the reason you're not getting the desired result with your tube ello, is that your plane light is bouncing off of the inside of your tube.

the closest thing you'll get to a narrow beam of light is using ies lights. there's free ies generators out there that let you create your own ies files - in ...

@jaberwocky: as i understand there is no possibility to combine an ssd raid with a conventional hdd in the same system, as of yet. raid hdd + ssd works just fine. raid ssd on its own as well. but that wouldn't be a practical set up i think.
plus i believe there's a 750 MB/s speed limit. but don't ...

don't know if it got changed after you red it steveps3, but it says "camera only" - and that's actually the case. meaning there is motion blur when your camera moves (but not your objects). it becomes apparent with fast pans for example.

both. although in the "installation animation" it's less apparent as you often cut within the movement.

i think what most people struggle with when it comes to easy ease ins and easy ease outs is that they alter the length of a shot OR it's overall speed. for instance, if you'd introduce and easy ...

hey rehan,

what struck me first and foremost was that your camera movements stop abruptly - instead of ease in and out. especially since the rest of your camera movement is smooth and slow.

Again, never ever just change the OBJ/MTL files of an already existing OCS file and expect the OCS file to load correctly, after you have done the change.

so, if i read this correctly, until said issue gets fixed, we can only use the "export obj/mtl only" command if we're not introducing new ...
