Maxwell 25-Hour-render has passed and still noise?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Why does it take so long to render this image (its still running) ? http://www.lusica.dk/pic1.jpg
I only use Physical Sky and sun and the resolution is 800x320? My computer is a core duo 2.0ghz with 2gb ram could it be that the background image witch is too big or what could it be?

This image did only take about 5 hours to render (its from outside the same image) i know its a smaller resolution but the other isn't that bigger :S

Ps: Im using the maxwell plugin to archicad.

This result could be achieved in VRay in 15-20 min rendering time.
Time to change the rendering engine I suppose? 😉

1) dont use glass but AGS
2) if the color values (RGB) are close to 255 lower them.
Pure white..(255,255,255) reflects too much color and you will have alot of noise (in propabilistic methods such as metropolis algorithm avoid going to edges.....)
3) adjust properly the shutterspeed. You are talking an indoor pic with low light so you should lower the shutter speed to get more light in.

Hi.. what is AGS? and how do i use that instead? The colors im using is these RAL colors: http://mxmgallery.maxwellrender.com/search.php?search=ral&mode=0&id=1455#

AGS is architectural glass shader. It actually mimics glass but wont produce caustics, but such thin glass structures hardly cause such.
You will find them at the material editor (it has a deticaded ags shader.just search)
