Just doing some random speed tests with the following scene from Betrand Benoit which you can buy here:

http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/sce ... max/697824

Straight renders on 2 x Titan, Octane for 3ds Max, no PP.
Still need Camera Shift for viewport and color correction node with hue & sat ;)
Also chromatic aberration for post processing would be great!

I have that scene too, I've made some tests with the aim of balancing quality and speed...but still lots tests to do! :?

what about the glasses?, default values or with fake shadows option enabled?, did you tried with lower bounces (8-10)?

Glass is pretty much default but of course with fake shadows. If it's not enabled how do you get the light to pass through?
I also tried to hide the window glass but it didn't speed up the rendering, sometimes it was even a little bit slower :?

On the top left corner you can see the bounces behind PT. It ranges from 8 to 12.
With lower bounces everything behind the glass core gets almost black...

You're definitely right! :mrgreen: often (without sun light) I enable the "fake shadows" for brighten the areas behind the glasses.

Very nice and clean renders, i like that. I already see the camera moving slowly, with some nice music...

A quick question, do you think its possible to get a frame under 10/15 minutes, +-, for Full HD animation? (using a denaoiser of course)
I just ask because i try myself to get octane ready for Interiour rendering, not waiting 60 minutes for a noisefree frame...

cheers,
djart

I would say it's possible but that depends on the scene, the kernel type and your hardware setup.

Maybe you can give it a try, if you have time and fun, to find out if its possible to bring it down to under 10 minutes for a fullhd frame?

cheers,
