It’s been a busy last couple weeks for me at the studio but I’ve been keeping an eye on everyone’s progress! You’re all doing great! Keep it up!

I restarted this piece this morning and limited myself to light this shot in 2-3 hrs. The focus was speed since I will be lighting over 100 shots for my short film.

The render time without GI and FG is 1 minute and 28 seconds. With it on, it takes about 9 minutes to render a frame. I’m doing my best to control the render times since there will be thousands of frames to render on a short.

Any advice on improving the lighting in this scene would be appreciated :slight_smile:

PS. Does anyone know how to make it look like god rays coming through the window in Maya?

EVH5150 - thanks for the comments. I worked on reducing noise in my latest version.
Luxrender is relatively new and I am relatively new at using it so I am not the best person for info on how fast it is. My impression is that it is very slow using bidirectional unbiased settings, but for other render models it is relatively fast. I would recommend using distributed path in the future.
Luxrender is really a very configurable unbiased renderer and as such it is difficult to configure for optimal performance time wise and doubly so since documentation is scarce at best.
Testing different render settings is required for every render and type of light and understanding the different render types without adequate documentation is a time consuming effort even with several forums available.
I used several portals, area lights, and point lights for fill. The mirror created excessive fireflies which I thought were due to noise but a lot of this was because of high reflective settings for material properties. under 0.8 is best I’ve found; defaults are too high.
Volumetric lighting wasn’t working for bidirectional renders…

very nice texturing! i think more contact shadows would help especially under the computer table. aside from that it looks great!
