You may have also noticed that V-Ray has gotten much faster by default.

In fact, many of our users have discovered that their old scenes typically render faster and cleaner, simply by removing their previous settings and switching to the new defaults.

Its smart enough to produce even noise levels throughout the image, placing more samples in areas with more noise, without oversampling other areas that dont need it.

This makes it possible for users to render scenes with a large number of light sources, without affecting render times.

Also, a new improved Adaptive Lights 2 technique is coming in our next release (more on that later).

A dome light is a spherical or hemispherical light that is often paired with a high dynamic range image (HDRI) of the environment.

This type of image-based environment lighting has been a staple in CG rendering for years.

Generally V-Ray samples the HDR dome efficiently to make sure that IBL produces as little noise as possible.

However light typically enters interior spaces through small openings like windows and doors and only a small portion of the dome light actually contributes to the image, making the sampling of the dome light with HDR image not very efficient.

Now, the new Adaptive Dome Light uses the Light Cache calculation phase to learn which parts of the dome light are most likely to affect the scene.

It automatically figures out which portions of the environment to sample and which ones to ignore.

This makes it much easier to set up and much more efficient.

This is because the Adaptive Dome Light concentrates its efforts in the right spots making it not only more accurate, but faster as well.

Our early tests have seen speed increases from 10 up to 700, depending on factors such as the complexity of the scene, contrast level of the HDRI, etc.

Here are a few examples of different types of HDRIs and scene types.

To help you get a cleaner image faster, were making V-Ray smarter in the way it analyzes scenes and optimizes ray calculations.
