Brute Force? And not just the Mental ray GI, could Mental Ray's Irradiance Particles be said to use the same principle as VRay's 'Irradiance Map' and so on and so forth.. Or is there any useful relations to be made to the solutions other engines use at all?   noouch Date: Tuesday, 20.10.2009, 18:52 | Message # 2 Coming from V-Ray and having a bit of experience with MR: Final Gather and Irradiance Particles can both be likened to Irradiance map with Brute Force for secondary bounces. I don't think MR has an equivalent to plain old Brute Force. The closest would be oversampled FG. The old Mental Ray GI could be likened to photon mapping I think. Then there's light cache in V-Ray, which can be imitated to some extent using the mia path material in mental ray. Lots of other render engines have some of the same GI methods.   Forum » Art Discussion » 3D Digital Art » Different GI Solutions relate in different Render Engines Page 1 of 1 1 Forum main pageArt Discussion     General Discussion     3D Digital Art     2D Digital Art     Photography     Video & Animation & Cinema     Traditional Art     Experimental Art     Design     Handmade Folk Art     Sculpture     Scale modeling     Game development     Web-designMusic Forum     Composing     Recording     OtherLiterature Forum     Literature & Poems     ArticlesFree Talk     Advertisement     Free talkSite Support     Bug Repport Search:
