@vladimir, arnold correct? indeed its good, some of the other renders dont have the proper light/shadow on the ground. i think its because of the techniques being used on the windows. the 'lightplane' mesh, if its being used as an area source it tends to give improper shadowing on the floor.
so talking about technique, whats your setup like and sample settings? all my renders still come in around 2hrs with too much noise still. s On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 8:16 AM, Vladimir Jankijevic < [email protected]> wrote: > alright, here is my try on the scene.
