[RV543.1462] Thea For SketchUp

[Rombout]

Thea camera tool. Make sure you save the settings per scene and refresh it. Then check if it works how it supposed to.

i cant seem to make passive emitter material. is anyone experiencing this with the new version?

[Rombout]

See image, there is a checkbox for making a emitter material passive

[quickit]

No, sorry.
I can make passive emitters with the last version.
Though noisy.

Hmm not sure why, it doesnt produce light, do you have example images and a scene perhaps?

[quickit]

hehe @rombout
As I said earlier, I often use 64 s/px or 128 when there's a bit too much noise to my taste and even passive emitters must be rendered in reflections so this generates a bit of noise. Nothing compared to the noise generated by the GI though.

[Rombout]

hmm 64 or 128 sp is very low, higher sample are needed.

[quickit]

hmm 64 or 128 sp is very low, higher sample are needed.

In a (not so) distant past, I used 1024 or 2048 s/p.
But now I render everything in 8000px large so 64 s/p is often enough to get something usable.
And if it's really a bit on the noisy side I use a denoiser.
That way I can keep the pace of the other vray users in my office

Really depends on the scene and materials used, but if it looks good its okay ofcourse. You can stop it when you want.

I never thought about rendering high res with low sample/px. I must try it tommorow. Which supersampling are you using? High/medium/none?
