Through the door (1.0 Splash Screen WIP)

I think it has gotten better since v1. Need any help rendering?

Just out of curiosity, what are the 3 squares in the light source? Are they just to make the beam a little more interesting? If they are just for that you should move them a little bit out of view, they look a little out of place

yes, they are to make the beam more interesting
I'll try to move them behind the view

thanks , for now I don't need help rendering. It's fast enough mainly because of the low resolution. Maybe I'll ask for help for the 'final' version

Love it! Let's render the crap out of this.

You're using the single volume integrator, right? (Multi will be rendering for ages on this scene)

yes, single volume integrator. I noticed that this same scene, on the same pc, renders much faster with rc1 than the rc2.

Could be your light strategy? Is your efficiency higher with rc2? Does setting light strategy to "one" manually get the speed back?

Hi,

It could also be the new protections on volume computations, but I wouldn't expect the impact to be that noticeable.

Sorry for old thread bump, but this is worth it
Enki helped me render out a carbonfluxed version of this old scene:

The volumetric effect is now very nice. Even 10 000 samples are not enough in this case to clear out all the noise.
