Ok, we still have a problem with Ray Traces. I rebuilt the plan from scratch and it still is worse than before system crash. I have attached several examples.
1A is of an empty room (Camera View)
1B is a 25 pass Ray Trace without Photon Mapping it took 1m 32s
1C is a 25 pass Ray Trace with Photon Mapping it took 8m 42s
Not to bad.
2A is of a bathroom vanity and cabinets (Camera View)
2B is a 25 pass Ray Trace without Photon Mapping it took 2m 23s
2C is a 25 pass Ray Trace with Photon Mapping it took 10m 34s
Still not bad considering the mirror.
3A is also in bathroom. Shot of a seating area, cabinets and shower entry (Camera View)
3B is a 25 pass Ray Trace without Photon Mapping it took 2m 30s (But dark with 4 light sources)
3C is a 25 pass Ray Trace with Photon Mapping it took 10m 46s
Still not bad
4A is same as 3A with window (Camera View)
4B is a 25 pass Ray Trace without Photon Mapping it took 6m 15s (But dark with 4 light sources)
4C try a 25 pass Ray Trace with Photon Mapping & I get: The following error occured Unable to perform photon mapping.
It has something to to with the outside, backdrop or something. It has a very large terrain perimeter.
I ran one earlier of 3C and it took over 3 hours. I don't know if a texture or material is slowing it down or what. I have also attached the plan itself. Just adding general light sourses, no fixtures. I uninstalled CA X7 and reinstalled and the speed is acceptable. Just can't figure out why it crashes with a window or an outside shot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
