So here's the scene (full view 1100px): Here are the settings: Image Sampler: DMC 4/12 Filter: Cook Variable 1.3 Col Mapping: Reinhard burn value 0.005 Ambient Occlusion: 0.6/0.25m/128 subdivs IRR: medium, detail enhancement on radius 60 subdivs mult. 0.8 Light Cache: 2000, retrace threshold 1.0 (for light leaks) Noise: 0.005 Here's the light set up: With a sun coming in bottom right. Shadow subdivs are set to between 24 and 32 for those lights. Camera: shutter speed 45, film speed 210, f-number 6.8 Materials: Many woods are set to have between 32 and 128 reflection subdivs. So just wondering how to get as much lighting realism as possible really, and as clean a render as possible. I'm not sure if I'm overdoing it on the subdivs where some other route should be taken. It currently takes about 3-4 hours to render an 1100px image on a quad core laptop. I personally like the realism in this image. The light really fills the space and there's hardly any noise: http://stas-oliva.deviantart.com/art/The-living-room-in-classic-style-342921662 Any tips would be awesome
