hi

i'm trying to render the attached scene, and i wonder what would be the best speed / quality settings?

i have used
- path tracing
- 9000 samples
- size 1200x1000
- diffuse 8
- specular 8
- caustic blur 0
- ray epsilon 0.0001
- filter size 1.2
- gi clamp 5
- path tem. power 0.3
- coherent ration 0.0
- hdri lightning
- texture lightning (spots) sampling rate 1000 (what dos this do?)

what should i (if i should) i change to get a faster cleener render?
particular where the spotlights hits the wall seems critical.

jorgensen

i'm using sketchup 2015 / octane 2.24.2 / plugin version 2.24.2.1

First off all - make your model well grouped and structured (layered). Don't let any geometry hide your lights. Pay attention in SU to reversed geometry.

If you make your light settings properly - see the screenshots - you should get a very clean render even in very glossy environment very quickly under 5000 samples. The sample render attached took no more than 15 minutes on my machine at 5000x2000 (final size is reduced).

Jorgensen, if I may add some artistic thoughts while you're at it, the ceiling is a very heavy red and the floor looks so light. Maybe give the floor a little darker tone, and some gloss to balance it out a little. This is an image from Google that has the look I'm talking about. Just thoughts. Nice scene!
