Architecture viz - old house style

[StompinTom]

Hi. I wanted to show you my latest WIP of a house we are making right now.
Render times was 7 minutes at 3000x2000 pathtrace.

Fuck. Off.

7 minutes?! So if a client asks for this and that to be changed as we speak on the phone, send-it-over-now-thanks-so-I-can-see and print it off right away, I don't have to make up excuses about rendertime and delays? Wow.

What are your machine specs?

Read below, it's on my signature And yes Octane its a WOW render engine..

Very nice render! Good job.

all exteriors render in a few minutes clean in octane currently. (if you have a decent GPU like a medium range GTX260 or better)
interiors is more difficult, requires MLT and ultimately bidir path tracing.
however, with plain brute force pathtracing octane is the same or slightly faster than a MLT/Bidir complex/heavily matured engine, which gives good promise for the future, as we're working on those features asap.

Sorry Rad. but I don't understand what is about MLT vs brute form Path tracing
Is that means MLT can be slower than PT in interior?
Could you please explain more?

No, MLT will be much more efficient than path tracing for interiors.
The noise will dissapear quicker and you won't have fireflies/ hot pixels.

Thanks for the fast reply Rad.

So, Octane will have bidirectional pathtracing also?

Cheers.

Hi all, remember the old house? This is what my client finally approve .. totally screwing the house..
There is still a lot to work be done in architectural perspective, modeling, texturing, etc.. I'm posting the progress so far. More is coming...

Any question and C&C is welcome as usual ..

wonderfull
i'd love to see a whole series of that house from different camera positions/angles
