Chess scene by Enrico Cerica (included in Octane Render)

Before people start complaining, I've specifically told the alpha testing team NOT to post any competition entries with the new features, as otherwise it would'nt be fair to the non-alpha testers.

Hi Sam. Very nice and clean caustics:) What about render time

Cheers,

Yes, we got strict rules to follow
Thanks Radiance for the additional infos

Here's a good question
Wich feature of the Beta 2 is this render showing ?

(beside the obvious photoshop glow... )

Hi Sam. Very nice and clean caustics:) What about render time

Aha you have been fooled (I admit I was too at first)
Its not caustics, the ground is glossy material... its just reflections

I could have done a diffuse ground
But the glossy materials (the gold) is only 0.2 reflective
To get good caustics you need more reflection !

Render time is 10min (1024 by 512 pixels)
4.09 MS/s using Pathtracing / 3 bounces (doesn't need more for this scene)

It was already really good at 5min render time but I let it render longer
At 20 second it was enough to judge of the colors and materials

Thanks Enrico for this awesome scene
Do you have a higher polycount one to share with me ?

Heheh:) It really looks like reflective caustics on diffuse floor, at first:)
