Comparison of large image render 3000x2000px @2hrs and 94hrs
Posted: Tue Dec 20, 2011 8:54 pm
Thought this might be helpful for those who are wondering "what would my image look like if I let it cook longer"... Here is a 3000x2000 px image rendered overall @ 2hrs 8passes and saved again @ 94hrs 267 passes... Since most people don't have 100hrs to let a render bake, I thought I'd post these up for those who wonder just where the point of diminishing returns might be in a large render like this... I happened to be out over the long weekend and thought I'd let this cook to see how it would turn out. No post production. 50% resize to fit forum max file sizes (so there is some inherent AA in the resize... If anyone is interested in the full-size 3000x2000 image let me know via PM and I'll send a link).
As a side note- I use 42" LED displays (just like the one in the image actually) as my work-monitors, therefore I'm a bit over-critical about noise lol - I sometimes forget that 99% of people are viewing images on much smaller displays and the noise becomes a non-issue...
Hope this helps.
Box Specs:
Core i7-960 (3.4Ghz)
12Gb Ram
Rendered w/ KTx64boost w/ Easy9 Render Preset from TL export.
