New AA Method: Unified Sampling at 3dsmax2012

[thorsten hartmann]

Hi Guys,

 

it give a new Sampling Method at mental ray 3.9 / 3dsmax2012. Use unified Sampling to optimize ( DoF-, Motionblur-, Reflection-, Refraction-, Shadow-Samples) your Rendering Speed + Quality.

 

 

Look at my Blog: http://www.infinity-vision.de/blog/unified_sampling

 

have fun!

Note to self: never fly on Lufthansa again.

i like lufthansa,

 

- bad food

- unfriendly stewardess

- expensive

- unpunctual

 

But believe me, your fly is 100% save. The newest Planes, and the best Pilot of the world.

kind of like vray DMC sampling?

[thorsten hartmann]

yes, i think.

My dad's friend used to run the Lufthansa branch in Lebanon, he lived a luxerious life, he bought his kids houses and spent tons of money. Once one of his brat kids stole 40 grands from his father's house and fled to buy drugs with them (that's what you get for spoiling your kids), I always wondered how he could afford this lifestyle even if he was a manager, especially in Lebanon. Maybe Lufthansa has more secrets than we know.

I was joking about Lufthansa safety because you show 1 plane zooming past the other, separated by 3 meters!

Hi Guys,

 

I have update this Script and included "dynamic Filtering". mental ray is able to perform texture filtering dynamically in secondary effects like reflections and refractions. This is based on additional ray properties like solid angle which is propagated along the ray traced path. This feature is enabled in the scene options, and applies to all textures which have texture filtering enabled.

What does this dynamic texture filtering script do differently than using the current mental ray map manager option in the translator options tab? Is it more for reflections and refractions?

This for the doceumentation, my english is very poor.

 

Control ray differentials for texture filtering in secondary effects.

If turned on then ray differentials are automatically computed and propagated across ray tracing effects like reflections and refractions to determine the optimal filter size for filtered texture look-ups. If not enabled then differentials are not computed and texture filtering falls back to default filtering on primary visible objects only.

The default is off.

hi guys,

 

here a little render summery:

 

 

look at my blog at the original resolution in 1920x2000 Pixel and for other Testrenderings.

Yes...if you haven't played with Unified sampling for mr....you're missing it! For alot of my render times, some of them were reduced by half the time for the same if not better the quality.
