Render problems

[icarus51]

Hi all,

I'm trying TG 3 but i get a lot of errors - Unknown errors, Render buckets errors, Ray Trace errors and so on... also crashes are frequent.
In addition i find that the Sun Rays are always grainy in my renders.

This picture like example:



In this renders data is:

Cloud quality 0.92
Optimisation: None
Render Detail: 0.5
AA: 0.3
Render time: About 52 minutes
Atmosphere Quality: 60
Defer Atmo/Clouds: unchecked (i tried but no significant difference but very slow render)


Someone can explain me this issue? Seems to me that this software needs more updates.
Greetings

Try increasing your render detail to about .7, and your AA to 6(more or less). You should see an improvement, and you probably need to check defer Atmo/Clouds.

Well, your issues are certainly not typical. My first guess about the crashing and render errors would be memory issues. What are your system specs?

If you enable Defer Atmo, there's no point in increasing Detail, unless you want the *terrain* to look nicer; Detail has no effect on atmosphere when Defer Atmo/Clouds is enabled. I also would not recommend going straight to AA6 *and* enabling Defer Atmo. Try AA4 with Defer Atmo and atmosphere samples at 24 or 32. And turn Optimization back to Optimal (unless you turned it off for a specific reason; it will *not* improve noise to turn it off!).
