DL/DIFF 8 bounces + some leveling and vibrance adjustment in photoshop
Models from archive3d.net
As a side note, I have noticed you can raise the sampling for each material individually, so it is a good idea to do it for glossy materials, or whatever you find harder to clean the noise.

Can you please tell where exactly (3ds Max)?

Man!

Paquito, you are the undisputed DL master. Very nice quality.

You mentioned being able to raise the sampling of each material individually? Can you show us? Or elaborate further?

Great results!

best,

Sure man. Just select the material you want give more love, then click the "eye" icon next to its name and choose the samples you want for it. The screenshot should explain it.

I thought that just effected the preview image, does it make a difference to the material in the image?

Very good scenes ! Congratulations !

I noticed the materials (those with blurry reflections in this case) gets clean at a faster pace than before. That way you don´t have to let it cook for the harder areas while the rest is perfectly clean already.

For this i would realy like to hear an admins comment:
does the sample per Pixel slider realy affects the sampling for the final render or just the preview Picture for that particular material?!

i would bet this affects just the preview for the material, anything else would mean that octane would sample adaptive...
as i think octane is a brute-force renderer.

but hey - admin - am i right?!

all clear now. just asked one of the octane Team and as i tought the reply was:

It only affects the preview render, the final render uses the max samples in the kernel node.

so... it is not as posted above, you cannot Speed up your Render in this way!

Hi Paquito,

This samples/px slider only affects the preview. It doesn't affect the sampling of that particular material in the scene. There's no way to do this in Octane.

In 2.0 you can select part of your scene with the render region and give it "more" love

cheers,
