Nothing special, I have been busy and felt like sharing some of latest works.
These first are from animation camera so shift camera was not good option.

Thanks Fabian for sharing, I will test it very soon.

Hi to all. It seems that I have found a way to eliminate Bake GI looping bug. After I setup the scene for baking only and I have the scene ready to be baked I save the scene, reload it and then press render. I tested three scenes that had this looping bug and they are rendered fine. I hope someone f...

Congratulations, very nice work.

Better tutorials system is something that will attract new users but right now I don't think lack of tutorials is the biggest issue with Kray. We are in 2016 and we don't have fur neither proper displacement, or shaders and we have to dive to complex nodes and many many test renders to achieve bette...

Hi, are you using Lw's carpaint or conductor?
Kray is really slow rendering them.

Nice looking but the eyes are always showing it's cgi unless a huge amount of work is put to them.
Actually in the studio environment it looks more photorealistic to my eyes than the one in the room, maybe to much sharpness?
The clothes on the other hand are looking fantastic.

Great tips, thank you.

Nice render time, how did you manage it?
Here is my path tracing quick test with white texture environment only

17 minutes on 980ti and 780.

Thomas thank you for the scene. GTX 760 kills all the joy working with Octane. I had to jump recently to Octane because I find Kray not reliable enough for animation and I wanted predictable results. Sure render times are a bit higher and some serious investment in hardware is required but at the en...

The scene is the Cornell file that you have provided, the only thing I change was render saving path and the "Unable to read current scene" appears. To test the bakeGi I removed the balls from Cornell scene and made a 100 frames camera animation. The loop appears. The looping problem is th...

I tested v2.61 with Cornell scene and the problems are still there.
Bake GI loop and "Unable to read current scene".
Tested locally in 2015.2 Lw version

Any news about the 2.61 update?
The past 2 months I was forced to render more than 3000 frames with time interpolation method because GI baking has a loop bug and can't use renderfarm. This caused me to miss my deadline.
Now I have to render new long animations and I really need GI baking.
