Thea Render Revision 568

[patricks]

Hi Zacchia

i am not sure how you are measuring this .... are you calculating render passes for a given time ?
if so, this does not always reflect the right situation with unbiased rendering like TR1 and TR2 because 1 pass can have more "quality" then before.

the best way to compare unbiased renders is how much noise is after a given time .... and you will see the speed increase with heavy and difficult scenes much more (longer renders)

for BSD it will depend much more on the scene and scene setup as we have now tracing depth per material which has a big impact on render times

hmmm to bad that 1.2 Colimo isnt ready yet?!

Colimo 1.2! will be released tomorrow at morning we've found a small bug in modo script using his native renderer.

und und?! i dont see the link

Hope you can follow this Finally i "dreamed" to have half rendertime (speed factor x2). But I know you do your best and I do not want to annoy someone. And I also know that Tea is fast in generall. I just dreaming and be sure sometimes whishes comes true!

Is it possible to send me a sample scene? I would like to "measure" it also here (with another computer that is). I have no doubt about your measuring and my belief is that in this scene latest revision is only 25% faster, like in your tests. All I am saying is that thea speed up depends on the scene and it is more obvious on unbiased TR1/TR2. And indeed, you won't see always half times; on average you will see something like 35% reduced times (if I recall correctly).

best wishes

I did a lot of testing when the speed up was first done and the results showed a massive difference, even 32bit machines can handle more than double the amount of instances and still render, build time is mega quick.
You may say I'm bias as a beta tester but the speed up changes are very evident for me

version v1.0.10.505 rendertime with tr1 1745 seconds means 100%
version v1.1.01.568 rendertime with tr1 1589 seconds means 91%
or
version v1.0.10.505 rendertime with tr1 1745 seconds means 110%
version v1.1.01.568 rendertime with tr1 1589 seconds means 100%

version v1.0.10.505 rendertime with BSD 880 seconds means 100%
version v1.1.01.568 rendertime with BSD 710 seconds means 80%
or
version v1.0.10.505 rendertime with BSD 880 seconds means 123%

This is the scene I made the test: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38782963/Scene.pack.thea
This is the BSD Preset: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38782963/12.%20 ... ryHigh.xml
This are the results:

The TR1 renders have been limited to 10 passes

I have seen now that I made with the TR1 comparison a simple mistake: The seconds are not 1745/1589 they are 745/589 That means the speed up is the same with TR1 and BSD, about 80/100% or 100/123%. Sorry for this!!
