Broussailles

[Seth]

ok here is a small render... i won't do it again because it need 146 hours to render !!!! yeah 146h for 640x480...

[Will]

great populations and lighting though.

[Hannes]

Absolutely photorealistic! Awesome!!
Btw, what does "broussailles" mean?

[Seth]

thanks !
it means... errr... undergrowth ^^

[Saurav]

Looks great. What settings this you render this with?

[joshbakr]

Looks nice, but 146 hrs for this size is insane. I also notice the ends of the plants (what I presume are seed pods) look strange to me. Kinda like "swimming sperm on a stick".

Photorealistic.  To bad about that render time.

[rcallicotte]

Yeah, Seth, but it looks cool.   

[Costaud]

Your settings are not exceptional, I used stronger. I think the time is long record on the one hand by this herb "greedy" in resources and the high resolution of objects that really is deadly to render time.

[Seth]

i totally agree with you

...but also AA 15 is sort of insane for TG2. A long while ago, I measured render times for a small demo scene, for which I increased AA by +1 for each incremental render. I don't remember the exact results, but render times went up very, very much with each AA step.

I suggest to use AA 6 for this render and then blur the result intelligently in postworks.
