Precached map has low continuity ratio

What does it mean?
How does it affect rendering (because low ratio is rendering slower? noisier? ...?)
How to elliminate this message?
Do I have to care about it?

Would be nice to relase some perfect scene like this to showcase the power of K3

K3 instances are working here.
But if you spray 1 vertex polys in modeler and use instances on them, it'll crash. After killing polys and use instance only on sprayed points it works!

Hi, I have some problems with an exterior scene. I'd like to render instanced grass, but the rendertime is incredibly slow compared to the non-instanced version. With grass instances: 90 minutes Without grass instances: 21 minutes Actually the "without instances" version also contains the ...

There is no LEM panel in the scene.
it's really amazing GI quality.

You mean this ambient light?:

"Only ambient light without physical lights."

Do you mean no LEM in windows, light only from phsky? Or from bg color?

Thanks Janusz!

Meanwhile I tested out a fast solution: srf:

Hi,

What's going on here? I'm trying to render this scene. Horrible rendering times with curtains. Can somebody help me? Thanks!
curtain materials and K3 settings here:

Wow, great!
Can you share the tonemap setup?

btw about post process aspects. G. will prepare also special plugin for K3PostProcess which will contain all these effects from you renders: shine, sparks, bloom, vignette, halogen flares, etc. This will be processing based on internal HDRi image information - so effect will be more accurate and in...

Hi JCE,

Try ticking Unseen by rays!
Burning ceiling: try a different tonemap setup

For me, this is the most simple solution to update from RC2 to RC3:
- close layout & modeler
- overwrite all k3 files
- launch layout, load a previous scene and hit f9
- done....

I hope that fixed FS#122 and updated setup will significantly cut down render times. Now I found that the only solution to elminate the noise is render at 4x resolution, and scale back to original.

Original renders have 3840x2160 resolution, AA3 then scaled down to 1080p. CPU: i7 5690x, running at 4.3 ghz. 4k render times between 2 and 3.5h ---> 1080p: 30-50min I have an another PC with Ryzen 7 1700 clocked at 3.7 ghz. It scores the same ~1600pt in cinebench as my i7 above, but it seems that i...

Hi! I've applyed RC2 on a scene, here are the results. Settings are from the Loft scene. Reflection blur noise needs fine tuning. (I know there's a problem/bug http://www.kraytracing.com/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=122 During building up the scene I've experienced a lot of crashes. A...
