I'm just wondering what all of you have found to be good for settings in the new final gathering tab. I'm really liking automatic, but it seems like automatic doesn't function with the 'view' setting at all, does this mean mental images doesn't think the view setting is the best way to do it? I'm finding accuracy of 400, sample density 1, interpolation 100 and filter 2 seems to produce good results consitently.

so does this mean that the new final gather modes are all implemented in 8.5 then? Is the animation one working well if they are??

Thanks

Yeah the animation mode is there as well. I haven't tried it though.

In auto mode, FG doesn't pay attention to the FG radii, so there is no need for the view setting, which only affects the units of the radii, either 3D scene units or pixel units.

In auto mode, the number of nearby FG points used for interpolation comes from the FG points parameter.
