At the beginning I would like to thank all those who wrote the wise advice in this forum (especially the people what they wrote about light and noise reduction). Thank you all, because I think all read;)
This is my first post in this forum so please bear with me. My card is 1x GTX480 without overclocking. I use a modeling program Sketchup.
OBJECTIVE TO ACHIEVE
Interiors at night DL-AO 9x faster than the PMC - is it possible to make it even faster?
The least amount of work to prepare renderings interior only with artificial lighting. It does not have to be perfect. The priority is speed.
As for the daily work with the client. So to be properly and as realistic. But I do not want to do post-production because it does not have the time. Every day I have to render 10-30 renderings with dimensions of 1280x960. There is no time to prepare something special project. For rendering I want to use the model of the building, from which I create executive documentation.
WHAT DID I WOULD DO
Attention. Please do not pay attention to the quality and scale of the texture. It's still possible to fine-tune
I have the impression that I was able to find quite interesting solution. However, I will be grateful for verification. Maybe something can be done to render the scene faster? But I do not want to lose quality.
Of course, the best working PMC. However, the time required for rendering is huge. Here are the results of work for PMC.
To speed up the work I decided to DL - AO but it was not easy. The scene, which nicely renderings of the PMC was not acceptable in DL - AO.
I used two tricks (maybe somewhere described) to DL - AO and now it looks acceptably.
1. Surface lighting scenes - allows to control the overall brightness of the room and illuminates the floor
2 The ceiling of the glossy material - to be seen nicely LED lighting
The only problem with this solution is that the windows must be black glossy and do not see how the light shines on the ground outside the building. But it can survive
Most importantly, the rendering time decreased 9x
But, it could be better?
