Hi guys , here is a set of bedrooms I just finished. Those two are rendered for less than 20 minutes on 3000x2000 and reached 3000 samples pathtracing - maxdepth 10 on one GTX 480.
Hope you like it

First one feels unfinished.. but I woudn't recognise the second from a photo ! Well done

I wonder how much difference does higher Max Depth make.

Thanks
My client want to keep less details as possible, renders made for catalog.
I didn't try with more than 10 bounces, but I'll make a little test for comparison and will post results.

it does'nt make any difference.
10 or 1024, it's the same.

at every bounce there is a probability that the path is killed, so you never reach 1024 paths.
this is an argument that other 'unbiased cpu based engines' use against lux,
but afaik it's not true, as even when you set it to 1024, the probability of actually having a path of 1024 bounces is minutely small (2 to the power of 1024)

Here is some RC3 render. Render time: 16 minutes, resolution 2000x1333 samples: 2000 , pathtracing: maxdepth 10, AA on.

great, i made some changes to the filtering in RC3 and the results do look better.
can you show us a pure output version ? (without post-proc) ?

eg, one that is'nt downsized, just to see if my filtering has improved

shure here you go
updated few post later

that's not bad at all.

can you do a comparison between beta 2.2 RC2 and RC3 ? see if the filtering is improved ?

I'll render now beta 2.1, RC2 and RC3 on same scene with AA for comparison.. will take some time though..

thanks for the help. i'm not in the office anymore and i'm enjoying the quietness of my HTPC so i can't do tests atmo.
