is this a technique when also rendering out the final frames/video as well or is this mainly for real time working on the project?

With Arnold and Maya what I have noticed after working on many projects is that Arnold sucks bigtime when it comes to rendering foliage, fur grass and hair passes.. also the scene had transparency, displacement and some heavy 4k - 6k textures. Add SSS shaders and render time increases again. With the dome light and hdri maps the render times shoot up like crazy with arnold rendering. Over the last few years I have done many tests with different values and possibilities on various projects (CG vfx and commercials) but wat I experienced is that the artifacts are still there , mostly with the GI ON(diffuse) and the rendertimes always go up drastically with GI on. I couldn't go below AA samples of 6-8 for the hi quality render in HD resolution. So the solution that I took is that I've switched to vray next & redshift. The rendertimes dropped drastically and the quality was much better. So, I have made it a thumb rule never to use Arnold for any of my personal projects, and only on production as the companies can afford to have good render blades and workstations. If we are working on our own work then Arnold is not at all advisable, with a very complex scene with, hell lotta elements and limited resources.

Hi Mike, first congratulations for your work. It's incredible the way you explain maya. I have a question, how can I render i mental ray with gpu. I have a gtx 1050ti but when I render something, the graphic card doesn't move. In Nvidia panel I think I have the correct configuration. Can you please help me to accelerate my mental ray renders? Thank you!

Hmm so I think this is useful in many ways but I think you should have added that this mainly works on simple renders. Usually in a normal scene you’d have the lights on 6 samples as well as the AA at 5 or more. I was really hoping on cutting down a fluid sim in half but that’s ok, still great job this trick is super useful on simpler renders.

Thanks for the tip! I managed to half my render time (MID RENDER!) and I can't even tell the difference from one frame to the next. The slight file size increase (58kb) suggests there might be a little more noise in there but it's imperceptible to the eye for my project at least. Much appreciated!

I was pretty excited to try this on my interior archviz scene. I did not really get the best results trying to only upsample the lights. I still had to bump up my Camera AA to 6. My Camera AA without bumping up the light samples was 6 and took 2:46 to render with a decently clean rendering. I tried dialing back Camera AA to 3 and then upsampling all of my lights to 6. The rendering took 1:32 to render but quality was not great. Maybe this is not a good approach for archviz. However, I will say I do use upsampling on my lights in combination with my Camera AA settings so there is a benefit there. For arch viz, a better approach to shave some time would possibly be not to just crank up the Camera AA. Figure out where the noise issue actually is occurring and only ratchet up those areas in the AA settings. When solely relying on Camera AA, that number is being multiplied to ALL other AA and sampling numbers. Another trick could be to not mess with Camera AA too much, turn on Adaptive Rendering and use the AA Samples Max to deal with the areas really needing more AA. I am always looking for ways to cut down rendering time so there are grains of usefulness in all of this.

Video is preatty basic and shows really nothing worth of note. Sadly Arnold is really a pain when comes to interior scenes, so learning it very well is mandatory.

Funny... In this tuto it's the lights samples to reduce the render time. In another tuto, it's the camera AA..... When I use both of this techniques on my own render, it's ending up taking the same amount of time, wich is always a lot.....

I really thought increasing light samples will increase the quality so the render time but I think I was wrong tjx for the information sir !
@1Obi1 Жыл бұрын
It does, but when Mike increased the light samples, at the same time he decreased all the sample values in the render settings, which resulted the lower render time. This trick works for a simple scene like this, because the noise is mainly from the lights, but if you have a scene with SSS materials for example, you gonna have to have high samples sizes for that if you want better quality, the increased light samples won't cut it.

@walhamarwen9273 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks mike but that 12 in camera AA is far than enough so 225sec is not the real AA Timing since it's abused. iF you just give it 5(AA) 4 Diffuise = render will be better quality with no noise and optimised timing. Not saying is the best solution since each scene have it's on configuration but you can't be comparing over rated 12(AA)/ to make an optimised render (y)
@EXO57 3 жыл бұрын
This is not a trick, you have a worse render at the end compared to the render with 12 to AA. So of course you will reduce the render time if the render is worse ... The goal of a video for reducing the time is to still have a good render in less time no ?

Sorry but this isn't a recommended video. Shows some principles that are the base on how to use Arnold, sold as "tip", plus showing couple of steps that are completely wrong (AA samples to 12 without any DOF or Motion blur just to clean overall noise is nonsense, no wonder render times are huge). Just learn how Arnold's sampling works , then this video will be preatty useless
