Hi guys,

im in very tight deadline here, please find attached my settings and my wip interior shot. i just want to know how can i get the detail to appear specially on the wooden slats on the wall at tv area? i want to keep the image resolution to 1600x1000 due to long render problem. this one took 2 hours . help appreciated.

My fast solution.

PHOTONS TAB:
manual 250-300 mm GI resolution (interior) NO AUTO
Pre cache dist. 100%

FINAL GATHER TAB
must be TWO PASSES render!
spatial tolerance is too low! ~0.07 is enough!
min/max try keep 50/1000
blur samples keep 0.3 - 1.0
brightness density 0% (do not use this)
PATH tracing MUST BE ON! so PATH 1.0 , corner dist. 5%-20%

SAMPLING TAB
this is easy for this resolution: FSAA G3 Quadratic 1.0

QUALITY TAB
Area light min/max 1/4 (if is noise then keep 2/4)

Rest, I think is ok (from my side) I would like change tone mapping:
LWF GAMMA 2.2 exposure 1.0
Exponential 5 exposure 1.0 (parameter can be raise even over 10...but You will loose colors)
Blending 70% ......but this is difficult - You will get almost LWF Gamma tone map which is really difficult to render (You have to setup really good light and surfaces)...so if is difficult then put BLENDING 30% (more exponential)

thanks Johnny, I will try your suggestion and will post update image. the reason i didnt use 2 passess on FG is because of the long rendering time. I did used 2 initially and my rendering time is like 5 almost 6 hours. thanks again and will do rendering now.

Like Johny said, your spatial tolerance is way too low. Try his settings, also 2 pass will be a lot quicker. You can also turn of Auto GI resolution and set it to manual ~250mm.

Thanks Johny and Jure, I manage to finish the rendering today. attached is the other view and using your suggestions. yup, i am still struggling with material by nodes, wish we have something like maxwell material system. thanks again for your help.

Yes looks good.Improve AA and surfaces, please. Light is very good.

jdomingo good render....high resolution please

Thanks nico, i tried uploading the highernresolution but it doesnt allow me because it's more than 2 mb.
