This one seems worth it. Going to let it go for awhile.

Question: when you have a proper rig with a good GPU, do you get "better" iterations?

I'm 3000+ iterations all HDRI and still getting noise. Other people are talking about doing 200 iterations with lights and no noise. Curious if your getting more bang for your buck when it comes to iteration "quality" with a GPU.
I've been in the 3D industry for a while, but I still don't really understand how things work in Iray rendering. Normally linkinn's explanation is correct. But my experience is different. While I get a noisy result at 5000 iteration with my old GTX 1080 card, I get more satisfied result at 1500 iteration with RTX 3090 + RTX 3080.

Btw you are using 8K HDRI. This greatly affects your rendering time. If you are using your HDRI as a backdop, 4K would be enough. If you are using your HDRI as a light source I would recommend you to use 2K resoluiton.

Awesome, thanks for the tip! I guess I just got in a habit of downloading 8k, this time around it was a light source and could definitely have used lower.

And I guess the magic of iterations lies somewhere in the number of cuda cores and that processing power.

Back to some POV work

Learned a lot from this one, still curious about how surfaces really work. Noticing how the body from the neck down looks very realistic but the face has the CGI finish to it (shine on face is sweat that I added). Can people shed some light on this?

Nooo :LOL: But the more, the better. So maybe we can start a real "Miss/Mister/Individual Universe" contest soon :D
That was a project I though to do if I ever gained enough of a following. Galactic Idol or something like that where I'd make 10-20 models and have votes on who to cut. Renders would get higher quality at each level.

I only posed one render last night. I started another and the character I loaded had another's skin on her, carrying over the modifiers I had made in Skinbuilder. No clue how that happened as I never tried the skin on them. Maybe saving a subset while both were in the scene? Skinbuilder issue? So I checked all my characters and saved their textures (which I should have done in the first place). Lost 2 characters who will be reincarnated later... Here's an example...
