kray instancing test

Post by jdomingo_forum »

thought of trying instancing in kray to find out about its rendering speed. i used the veggiepaint to generate kray instancing then i hit render.
maybe i am doing something wrong in here but my test shows a 30min render time on 640x480 resolution. any advice why its kinda slow?

small objects like vegetation will eat loads of FG samples. The best idea is to apply a Kray surface options shader to your vegetation materials and Photon mapping wish cache irradiance OFF. Then you can adjust FG min /max number in shader to some low value like 1-10 or 10/100... This will render much quicker because Kray will not waste time adding samples to the small vegetation objects.
