36/36 ray depth is not enough!

[LightwaveGuru]

hi juanjo,

i think 36/36 ray depth for the PT Kernel is from case to case not enough! if you build a complex SSS shader with a second (or more) material layers with light transmission options i have the feeling thats not enough...
is it possible to enlarge the depth up to ...i dont no...96 or 128?

Hi,

You can type any number in the numeric field. In fact, in Standalone you can set at least 2048 rays, so I suppose that Octane supports it

Great render, BTW!

Thanks,

oh my gosh i am so stupid! i never test it to type it in ok...stay tuned for the next renders....i think it would be much better with more depth

I would love to see the result, but it seems the image won't show up/is locked. Could you re post?

Hi Juan,

It seems we can put up to 2048 shading Depth samples in PathTracing Kernel right ? But is it the same rules or limitations for Direct Lighting and PMC Kernels ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Check the limits in the Standalone. The PMC kernel has the same limits, but the in the direct lighting kernel the limits are lower. I suppose that large values make no sense. I suppose that I should update the plugin to have these also these limits in the sliders.

Thanks,

Great ! Thank you Juan.
