Sampling is KILLING your Renders in Blender

Welcome to CG Torus! In this video, we'll explain how samples work in Blender, how they affect our final render, and how the synergy between samples and resolution enables us to achieve different outcomes in terms of visual quality and efficiency.
Additionally, I'll provide you with a guide on how many samples to use in a render, so you can enhance the quality of your images.

Something only mentioned in passing is that lighting and complex interactions such as caustics, refraction, etc. play a huge part in how many samples are needed. A well lit simple scene will require far fewer samples than a darker or more complex (lighting wise) scene. Also, many avoid using the denoisers altogether by rendering at higher resolution and downscaling as the built in algorithms for doing so often remove most noise and fireflies in the process without the blurring.

the noise threshold is more important than the samples… the noise threshold controls your quality and render time

You're absolutely right! A video about that is on its way.

I have rendered images with 0.5 Noise Threshold and samplings of 1200 and image looks good. But with the base threshold and just 200 samples the image looks waaasy better in details (using Openimage denosier)

@theftking 2 ай бұрын

It is and isn't. Depending on the complexity of the scene, there are circumstances where a lower noise threshold + lower sample counts produce better results in less time. That said, I'm speaking from an animation perspective where _temporal_ noise is the big issue and ultra sharpness isn't paramount.

@@advladart Noise Threshold is just a setting which stops sampling when certain noise level is reached in certain pixel/area. I believe 0.01 is considered 1% of Noise level. So if you want your noise level to be 1% ( barely noticeable noise ) you can set samples to 9999 and render using 0.01 Noise Threshold, it will do the math for you and you'll get best speed possible for reaching that threshold. Also don't forget about Ray Depth which can also speed up the rendering especially in interior ( low light, high GI ) and complicated scenes.

I found out that rendering with 50 samples on 4K is better (crispier image) compared to something like 150-200 samples on 2K

@DadicekCz 2 ай бұрын

There's a setting that keeps rendering more samples until your image meets a certain noise level Edit : it's called Noise treshold, it's locsted in the render settings

For realistic scenes I honestly prefer the noise you get with lower samples. It's like built in film grain in a way

nice tip for anyone. you can always render your projects as you work on it to gauge what the scene will look like and to see how many samples work.

@eclairesrhapsodos5496 2 ай бұрын

In Maxwell render there is lesser samples but each sample gives big difference. For most scenes 20 samples is enough with denoiser on but for some scenes it might require up to 50 samples which might take up to 4 days of rendering (it's resumable even after closing app). So technically each new sample is twice of previous results but before 14 samples it's less of time.

@ExacoMvm 2 ай бұрын

You forgot to talk about Noise Threshold and Ray Depth ( new in Cycles X ). I think for still images very high samples ( 4K+ ) and low noise threshold ( 0.0075 - 0.015 ) and denoiser off/on depending how important material details are is top priority because it will render in a such way that noise is even on the whole image. For animations low sample count ( 64 - 512 ) should be priority and high threshold ( 0.02 - 0.3 ) w/ denoiser on, lower ray depth and ideally using static noise if Cycles has this feature.

Seems a bit low for any scenes with fine detail prone to artefacts. I lean toward 4k at 1024 samples. 0.1 noise threshold for fast stills. No noise threshold for quality stills and animations (overnight render for the latter).

How to render in little block like that?

@CGTorus 2 ай бұрын

In the render section, there is a part called Performance. If you open it, you will see a value called Tile Size, which is set to 2048 by default. You can set it to any value you want, but I recommend multiples of 2, such as 16, 32, 64, 128, etc. Reducing this value usually decreases the rendering time (only a little bit)

@LarsHost 2 ай бұрын

Why would you compare denoised low sample image with denoised high sample image? I mean you don’t need denoising on 2000 sample image (in this particular case). You just f* up your render with denoising bro
