Here's my first lazy test with octane. Tiny bit of PP with Nik and MagicBullet.
It's a scene from Bertrand Benoit. You can buy it here http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/int ... max/643848

Rendered with PT (only 4 maxdepth) in roughly two hours on two Titans (3500px)
This is the material for the glass, even though it has thickness.
I did not wanted to have caustics for the windows. Or is there a better, faster material for it?

Would you place portals? Can I increase the rendering speed somehow?


Rob

there is a glass fake falloff in the Live DB that works great (its a glossy material with a falloff texture controlling opacity. looks just like glass but renders faster and doesnt give much or any) caustics

You can use a specular material for the glass, just set it up like normal glass but enable the fake shadows option. Portals probably won't have much advantage with windows this big.

Robsteady, the feeling is mutual. Nice to finally meet you too and great render!
