Jure, you've managed to write the same typo twice in the one sentence, you put the render time down as 1min, that would just be plain silly if correct :wink:

That is just insanely fast! People should be looking at Kray with real seriousness now, and the most amazing thing that I find about Kray is it's written by one guy, just compare that with all the other top renderers and their large development teams.

Hats off to you G-man.

Here's my effort. Not much work on the settings really. Everything set on low apart from AA, which is adaptive, grid size 3. Also turned up the photon multiplier, gamma and exposure (3.0, 1.4 & 2.0 respectively).

Question: can anyone recommend some settings that will reduce or eliminate that awful graining around the lumi light?

You gotta tweak those surfaces phile ;)

Yes the grain can be reduced by setting luminostiy lights min max value... set it to something like 20-100 or 50-200 untill it's gone.

Hee hee! Not my surfaces...

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it now.

Rumour has it AMD has just heavily cut the prices of its high-end Athlons. Rather good news, that!

Heh... and there I was thinking my trusty old 2.8GHz P4HT was still a reasonably fast machine. I'm just playing with the scene and I'm looking at render times around ten minutes, with everything set to Low.

Clearly it's time for a hardware upgrade round here!

actually the low settings are in fact pretty "high", you have to see the presets as a pretty safe-for-every-scene setting. When you get to know kray more, you will use "Custom" more often and there you gain a lot of extra speed per specific scene. It requires some experience, but in the meantime you have good results already with the presets. Jure took my scene and used the latest kray with new goodies, so you can expect this scene to fly on your machine when I post it here later.
