Basic Render Setting
- Base material: Redshift Material (comes with preset)
- reflection:
- roughness: (spec blurness)
- fresnel type: IOR - index of reflection
- refraction, transmission
- weight: (transparency)
- Optimization
- reflection: max trace depth
- RS surface scatter mat
- scale: smaller mean less scatter
- Light
- RS_domelight (HDRI light)
- RS_physicalLight (area light, geo light, spot light, point light)
- Camera's lens shader
- Bokeh shader:
- Ciricle of Confusion: smaller, sharper
- bokeh shape image: control bokeh shape and if RGB seperate, it will add abbreviation
- PhotographicExposure shader
Render setting
| Output tab | |
|---|---|
| Progressive Rendering | |
| the passes setting | only affect IPR progressive render, not final render |
| Force Progressive for IPR | uncheck that if you want to bucket render for IPR as point based render not supported in progressive |
| unified sampling and adaptive threshold | noise level control min > 4 randomize pattern for each frame: good for animation to random noise |
| sample filter | blur or sharp image, like those JPG engine |
| sample override | override per property sampling, good for check what need improve noise |
| motion blur | deforming geo needs check enable Deform blur |
| transform step | (sample steps for motion analysis per frame) |
| frame duration | (time duration for blurriness, for animation, normally 1 frame) |
| Gamma | gamma 2.2, linear workflow |
| color management | RenderView > option : color manager, sRGB,SRG, no maya color control |
| Environment | RS_environment, or RS_Sky |
| atmopshere | fog: volumeScattering |
| Tone Mapping | allowed overexp: highlight recovery; black crush: contrast adder |
| Photometric units | units to meter scale for calculation; cd/m2 factor: non-physical light intensity mulplier |
| AOV tab | |
| depth | distance info for DOF or Fog |
| Option tab | |
| max trace depth | max bounce or pass-through for ray calculation |
| GI tab | |
| primary GI | first light Bounce |
| secondary GI | second and later light Bounce |
| number GI bounce | for interior, maybe need more like 10 |
| brute force | more ray will clean up image |
| radiance point cloud | smaller screen radius means better performance, |
| Photon mapping tab | |
| photon GI and caustics | |
| SSS tab | |
| point based | |
| system tab | |
| feedback display | display window with all render info |
| material override | light check with basic material |
| bucket rendering setting | size, and order |
