SkIndigo 1.1.16 and the fireflies

[CTZn]

I use gaussian as splat, Pibuz (box is rude I think !).

Gaussian is told to be blurry but downsizing (with mn_cubic eventually) instantly alleviates the argument, and it does not underline contrasts. But on that last point, one may want to experiment with the mn_cubic settings. I heard a mental ray user happy with both blur and ring set to 0.5 iirc.

fused is right about the version Pibuz, don't fight against bugs, switch to 1.1.18 !

On a second note it will be interesting to track the modeling habits that might induce fireflies, for instance when mediums are intersecting with normal materials I believe. Remember to always keep glass panes at a distance from their support, that's the way they should be. The same rule applies for lampshades using mediums, a glass on a table etc.

Sorry to bother you CTZn, but I'm not so expert about encoding and stuff..

This is the xml file I found in the Indigo root folder, I suppose that's the configuration it uses while rendering:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<config>
<renderer_settings>
<metropolis>false</metropolis>
<bidirectional>true</bidirectional>

<downsize_filter>
<!--<box/>-->
<mn_cubic>
<ring>0.2</ring>
<blur>0.6</blur>
</mn_cubic>

<!--<gaussian></gaussian>-->
</downsize_filter>

<super_sample_factor>2</super_sample_factor>

<aperture_diffraction>true</aperture_diffraction>
<post_process_diffraction>true</post_process_diffraction>
</renderer_settings>
</config>

Which parameters should I change in order to have your configuration?
Sorry CTZn...
No hurry: write when you have some spare time to waste...

Oh Pibuz I am sorry, I did not mean to give you no answer ! I was looking for some informations today when I finally saw your post...

Mostly, I am always using a MLT-bidir combo, though we can tell by the inifile that the idea might not please Ono very much

And well, by the same inifile we can't say wich is the default splat filter used by Indigo; using MtI I always set it to gaussian, though since supersample is on by default, box should fit better. If supersample was to be set to 1 (ie, disabled), I for one would use the former as splat filter. If you want to try it out, add the following to the <renderer_settings> (though it might well be Indigo's default already ):

Code: Select all

	<splat_filter>
		<gaussian/>
	</splat_filter>

Again, excuse me for the latency, and sorry for bumping a 1.1.16 related thread...

Storm now, shuting down
