OctaneRender® pre-Beta 2.3 v5 (win/lin/mac) [OBSOLETE]

[pixym]

- Hotpixel/Firefly removal for the imager, to get rid of fireflies in real-time when tonemapping/rendering with a sensitivity slider. (it's a new slider in the camera tonemapper options)
Maybe you should try this…

still a ton of firefly
can't use this

use the hotpixel removal @ "preview imager" lower the value

can't use this

you need at least 2000-3000 samples per pixel and then lower the firefly reduction slider slowly until you're happy with the result.
it works really good, just play with it, we did quite a few tests on different scenes. it's %99 perfect.

It's the last slider in the tonemapper node inputs. (hotpixel reduction/removal)

if you have less than 1000 samples/px you will 'blur' the image too much.
it's really only for rendering firefly free finals.

No "mtl" in this version?

No MLT ever.

But their algorithm hasn't been released in this version either. It's a lot of work, and should hopefully be available in 2.3 final.

Yes, the upcoming pre-2.3 v6 will have the new algorithm.

Although, the new firefly removal feature in this release already solves the firefly/hotpixels issue very well (given enough samples/px and finetuning it in real-time when tonemapping).
The only reason why we need the new algorithm now is hidden lightsources and efficient caustic rendering.

Yours,
Radiance

I thought that goes without saying but you are right : HUGE THANKS to ALL

(I am just being serious about my bug-hunting eye cause I want to contribute as much as I can)

Here is a good surprise
Check out v4 vs v5 talk about energy loss! - I did it fast (I hope my exposer was not moved on any of them but it might)
