New heuristic method in Shader Utilities

[thorsten hartmann]

Hi Guys,

 

i have a new heuristic algorithm to find the best Sample Amount, Fast Interpolation Grid + Sample Amount and Reflection/Refraction Depth for each Material. At last i have found some little Bugs and fixed.

 

 

Update nach SU Build(20100725)

 

commercial Projects with Shader Utilities Pro:

VAM: http://www.infinity-vision.de/ShaderUtilities/eng/testrendering_vam.htm

Attic: http://www.infinity-vision.de/ShaderUtilities/eng/testrendering_sessel.htm

 

Example Metall Dragon:

 

non optimize: All different Metals have only 8 Reflections Sample, and the glossy reflections look all the same. At last you see grainy.

 

optimize: The hole scene with only one mouse click. All different Metals look different glossy reflections, and without grainy.

 

look here for 4000x2309 Resolution: http://www.infinity-vision.de/ShaderUtilities/eng/testrendering_dragon.htm

 

have fun!
