Sorry but yes, I guess the problem must be you are to confident in whatever software you are using to vizualize your z-depth pass (must be either clamping the pass or be in 8 bit mode)aLeXXtoR wrote: Oh, now we've come to idea that I don't know how to work with EXR?
Hehe, it's like that it's me the idiot here in the end )) I Just couldn't suggest that mid-range values are around the 6. My mistake, sorry.calus wrote:Sorry but yes, I guess the problem must be you are to confident in whatever software you are using to vizualize your z-depth pass (must be either clamping the pass or be in 8 bit mode)
Just lower contrast to see the depth for untonemapped ...
I agree, would be nice to have. Would be nice to have a setting in preference to allow user to decide, control methods.vijay_thirukonda, I also think that the adaptive strength is a useful function despite the fact that it increases the time it would be nice if you gave it back.
Could you please give an example where you need it? Just asking for more sliders to play around is not very useful. There are already an overwhelming amount of options in the kernel nodes, and just adding more for the sake of it doesn't necessarily improve anything, only makes things more complicated and basically harder to use.mikinik wrote:vijay_thirukonda, I also think that the adaptive strength is a useful function despite the fact that it increases the time it would be nice if you gave it back.
Due to a bug we were switching off sampling too early in the first test build, resulting in higher speed but also artifacts. This has been fixed with this build and the noise estimate is now more consistent. Also be aware that we set the default noise threshold to 0.01 which is quite a bit less noise than 0.03.enricocerica wrote:Is it me or do you also observe slower rendering with the new Adaptive Sampling ?

I know I asked this a ways back, and maybe my question was just to Juanjo in a LW thread, but I am pretty sure I never got any kind of solid answer to this. This feature would be HUGE for making completely unique instances (beyond random colors, which kicks ass), be it rocks, bricks, fallen leaves, dog turds... whatever one wants to make many unique copies of...
And while you are answering that, do you have any idea if the clipping (boolean subtracting) stuff is in our near future? I believe I was not alone when I said I really, really yearn for the ability to subtract from geo A, leaving behind geo B's (especially using instances) surfaces... this would be worth your efforts, if you could pull it off. The possibilities are staggering, and things that would currently be extraordinarily difficult, would likely be child's play if we had this in our arsenal.
Please advise gentlemen.
