OTOY Forums

Hi everybody. I use Octane for Cinema4D for 2 weeks and I am like a child who marvels at a Christmas showcase. However, I still have some problems in my Kernels settings and I would like your advice to optimize this a bit. Here is a scene which I'm working on and I get the record with the current settings (picture attached). I have 2 basic octane lights and a HDR environment. What would you do to improve this? I find some reflections are still a little bit noisy.
All your advices are welcome
Thank you in advance.

Depending on the scene but with pathtracing I always start with this as a base:
Speed increase largely comes from path termination power, coherent ratio and max parallel samples.

Thank you renderingz. I thought it wasn't good to increase caustic blur so much but i will try this base.
Great.

I wouldn't do that either, unless it is for an animation. The same goes for coherent ratio, higher settings tend to lose a lot of details.
