I used photonmaping
my cpu AMDX 2 3800 (ouverclocking 2x 2380)

if you have some good prepare on rendering this scene
help me

Thanx for your scene.
First of all i removed all "Air" polygons since they are not needed.
Glas in Kray should only be ONE surface. Kray will do the correct reflections/refractions itself. Il be back after some more investigation of scene and lightsetup with my own suggestion.

glass_modo
this it is not my scene
I show the only example of good glass
rendertime 53sek in MODO and I would like in LW to get something like this

so I know already this
Kray it need not surface air

there now what to make more this would look better near enough the little of rendertime

Here is my example. i had to rebuild the scene somewhat and downscaled the environment. Large floorplanes is no god together with photonmapping since many photons will be spread across it and wasted. I have tried to optimize the scene for speed and to get similar caustics like in that Modo scene. If you can provide me with the Modoscene i would be happy.

excellent time
what is your cpu
it at me is a bit longer

modo glass

and I wish all Merry Christmas and all good

I greet

Silverlw, what is the best way to simulate glass thickness absorbtion in Kray? surface thickness gradient?

Sorry.. i dunno. Maybe colouring/gradients... something.
Proper thickness and sss is on the todo list.

good to hear that, G. must be very busy with so many todos.

Here is two test with the demo version of kray 1.612, in the first test I used 200 rays and 1 level of full screen AA and in the second test I used 800 rays and 3 level of AA.
