Very nice!

Thanks, you have cleared some things.

Yupp, postproduction is worth a least 33% of a render...

I can see what FG settings do. Splotches, contact shadows etc... but with photons, i am not sure what to look...

Hi I need some theory background. How photonmap influences on quality of image and final render time? Does photon map affect splotches, light leaks, noise, does it affect the quality of contact shadows etc.... How the number of cells affect the quality of render and render time - i think i have read...

very nice work!

very nice work! maybe a little too bright? i also like the look of characters!

Happy new year!

nice compositions and overall renders, but there are problems with AA and some noise... still very nice

damn, you are good! any chance of sharing the whole scene? I know that your knowledge is your 'secret of the trade' but since our community has practically no tutorials - (probably because we are waiting for kray 3.0 ... only god knows when will that happen) - i think that this is the only way for o...

Bravo Mato!

Thanks Janusz , you are the man!!!

janusz could you share the scene, please?

Thanks for the input guys! I appreciate it, but I am still strugling... So I am attaching the scene. It is set to sRGB, krays QLWF is disabled, Lw's Area lights are on, Trace direct light reflections is also on... so if you open the scene and just press render, you get the effect that is, for me, ok...

tnx for clarification. so if i use strong setup what would that be? 3 FG passes + spatial tolerance under 0.05 + maybe path tracing passes? i am trying this settings, i can see nice contact shadows but render times are realy high... what would you recommend? One more thing. If you dont use specular ...
