TheKitchenAbode Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Here are some Ray Traces I ran this weekend. Took about 20 minutes for 100 passes, they were pretty well done after 25 passes except for the glass in the pendants over the island, still a bit grainy. All lights are spot type.

Since this thread was start to help interested parties understand how best to maximize Chief's RT capabilities, we would all be better for it if you would be so kind and share your settings, textures, patterns, tricks, etc. used to produce these outstanding results. Also curious of your system specs. There seems to be a lot of interest in upgrading these days with GTX GPU and Intel CPU pricing falling. Thanks again for sharing. I run an i7 5960x liquid cooled with all SSD's. I was running dual gtx580 cards for the last 5 years, but x9 needed an upgrade so I installed a gtx1070 last week. 16gb ddr4 ram I turn all shadows off all lighting except recess, and add an occasional user light when needed. I also bump up daytime and interior intensity. For each project, We provide 30-60 images so I have to keep the time down under 10 minutes per trace.

DavidJames Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Couple quick raytraces for a client. 15 passes each - X8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 David - I think if you turned down the under cabinet lights the scene would not be so washed out. Also the pendant on the left looks higher than the others. In the LR scene are the couches supposed to look so different? THe one in the foreground seems to have too much emissivity and the one on the left seems a little flat. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscott Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 David, Since the point of this Thread is to learn how to maximize Chief's RT capabilities, please provide the setting used to produce these fine pictures. Your work is very nice and we all appreciate and respect your expertise. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKitchenAbode Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 At a minimum, please state the pixel width & height, number of passes and Ray Trace time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the pendant lights, the left and right pendants are both higher than the middle one (what the client requested). Regarding the furniture, they provided an inspiration photo with furniture that was all very different. I'll take another look at the materials and the emissivity however. 48 minutes ago, mrscott said: David, Since the point of this Thread is to learn how to maximize Chief's RT capabilities, please provide the setting used to produce these fine pictures.

nannadajin Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hello, I am new to Chief Architect and would really appreciate your advice. I am rendering (ray tracing) but edited something whilst doing it. Is there a way to have this affect the final rendering or must I start again? Thank you in advance!

TheKitchenAbode Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Editing a plan does not effect the Raytrace currently being run. If you wish those edits to show you will need to start a new Raytrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
