Hello!!! Played with 0.42 is a lot more stable, never crashed excpet when I changed the GPU to another one while IPR was running.

Couple of new renders. Here a lot more centileo shaders utilized in the scene, they are very useful, triplanar projection, two reflection layers. And I really like surface mask shader on multi material. But I need dirt When will you do it?
Next time will dig deeper into SSS and also would like to apply more displacement.

This image is 2 hours render in 1920x1080 on single 970. There are 100+ light sources here and white balance 10000 and I think it's very fast for unbiased engine with this amount of lights.

UPD: Uploaded some new shots!

Seems that with firefly_killer = 0.5 or 1.0 the noise goes away faster in this scene and Ms/sec is higher. It seems to be coool!

Why different render_iter_power changes Ms/sec too much?

There is no problem loading and applying large textures. 4K, 9K - it all ok! But need to clean disk from caches.

Noticed some additional blur visible for lowres texture seen through perfect window - must fix it.

One more clean example. Need fixing materials

Here are some suggestions i hope U, guys, will fix or implement in future versions of CentiLeo.

1) Faster speed with many light sources (if it's possible, the difference between 20 and 100 light is noticable)

2) UVW mapping – no effect in Frame Buffer – FIX FIX FIX! Please)

3) Dirt shader!!!

4) Spot base shape selector (not only disc).

5) Bidirectional IES

6) Spherical camera

7) Shaders display in viewport (think it's a huge bug, please fix)

8 ) Resource Collector <=== (operating with a scene with a lot of textures is quite embarassing now)

9) Frame Buffer sees objects hidden in viewport - BUG!

10) Lights are not clipped for near/far clipping - BUG?

11) Multi-texture shader

12) Optimize GUI MultiMat material

13) ForestPack!!!

14) Disabled lights should be black, not removed at all!

So, here are some desirable thing and big bugs i've found (small ones are not listed). I'll try to update the list in future! Best of luck! ;)

Hi, guys!

Still noisy, how long is was it rendered and on which GPU?
What is on the street? Geometry or envmap?
Yeah, its a bit noisy, but i didn't aim to make perfect result, was just curious how the final shots could look like. It took ~40-45 mins on GTX 970, 1080p res, per shot.
Nearest pavement and street lamps are geometry and the distant urban view is envmap (not in a so high res btw ^_^).

I think 100 lights may converge not very fast but we will work in this area.
To be honest, the scene converged noticeably faster with 20-30 lights and it's good direction to optimise! Anyway, 40 min at 1080p resolution for this scene is a decent result i, think)

How is it easy to use our material cntlStdMat? Have you understood it by yourself or have you read the documentation which we provided with 0.41?
i have some expirience in several renderers, so it was quite easy. Started testing before the documentation was uploaded, but, anyway, thank U for uploading it. I'll check some moments)

Noticed that you spots look black for direct visibility. It's our bug. Already fixed, will upload it soon.
Good! Keep on, guys!

Can you also post a topic on the Wishlist forum with all the things we need.
Yeah. Need to remeber and list the wishes. Try to post in a few hours.

On the 3rd image there is broken highlight. Is it our forum bad conversion, jpeg too high gamma usage?
It's my fault i guess. Experimented with some post-production stuff and uploaded not the best one :oops:



Working with new 0.41 vesrion now. Some bugs appear to be fixed! Good! Upload some pix later, then.

Hi there! Here’re some interior shots rendered in 0.40! Scene has apprx 7 million polygons and 100+ lights. While interactive works really fast, scene converges fast as well, there are too many bugs so far and too many things should be implemented for comfortable workr. As for me, first of all you should make UVW coordinates to work correctly, for habitual faster texturing, make it visible when the lights are turned-off and make resource collector alive))) Exposure correction, gamma and other colour tuning seem pretty nice!

Anyway, the idea with a good prospect, looking forward for fixes for dat big amount of bugs)

I begin testing how 0.41 works and and try this scene with slightly more geometry and features. will keep you in touch guys.

And the pix! 8)
