Amostragem

Reference

Panel:: Renderizar ‣ Amostragem

O integrador é o algoritmo de renderização usado para calcular a iluminação. Cycles atualmente suporta integrador de traçado de caminho com amostragem de luz direta. Isso funciona bem para várias configurações de luz, mas não é adequado para cáustica e algumas outras situações complexas de iluminação.

Rays are traced from the camera into the scene, bouncing around until they find a light source such as a light, an object emitting light, or the world background. To find lights and surfaces emitting light, both indirect light sampling (letting the ray follow the surface BSDF) and direct light sampling (picking a light source and tracing a ray towards it) are used.

Viewport Samples: Number of samples for viewport rendering. Setting this value to zero enables indefinite sampling of the viewport.

Render Samples: Número de caminhos para traçar para cada pixel na renderização final. A medida que mais amostras são tomadas, a solução torna-se menos ruidosa e mais precisa.

Time Limit: Renders scene until time limit or sample count is reached. When the time is set to 0, the sample count is used to determine when the render stops.

Nota

The time limit does not include pre-render processing time, only render time.

Adaptive Sampling

With adaptive sampling Cycles automatically reduces the number of samples in areas that have little noise, for faster rendering and more even noise distribution. For example hair on a character may need many samples, but the background may need very few.

With adaptive sampling it is also possible to render images with a target amount of noise. This is done by settings the Noise Threshold, typical values are in the range from 0.1 to 0.001. Then render samples can then be set to a high value, and the renderer will automatically choose the appropriate amount of samples.

Noise Threshold: The error threshold to decide whether to continue sampling a pixel or not. Typical values are in the range from 0.1 to 0.001, with lower values meaning less noise. Setting it to exactly 0 lets Cycles guess an automatic value for it based on the total sample count.

Min Samples: The minimum number of samples a pixel receives before adaptive sampling is applied. When set to 0 (default), it is automatically set to a value determined by the Noise Threshold.

Redução de ruídos

Denoising removes noise while previewing scenes in Rendered mode in the 3D Viewport or for final renders.

Render

Denoising for the final render can be enabled or disabled with the checkbox. For denoising the image after rendering with the Denoising node, the Data Render Passes also adapt to the selected denoiser.

Open Image Denoise:: Uses Intel’s Open Image Denoise, an AI denoiser which runs on the CPU.
OptiX:: Uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to remove noise from renders. It is based on the OptiX – NVIDIA acceleration engine and therefore has the same GPU requirements as rendering with Optix.

Porta de visão

Denoising for the Rendered mode in the 3D Viewport can be enabled or disabled for with the checkbox.

Automático:: Uses the faster available denoiser for 3D Viewport rendering (OptiX if available, otherwise OpenImageDenoise).
OpenImageDenoise:: Uses Intel’s Open Image Denoise, an AI denoiser which runs on the CPU.
OptiX:: Uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to remove noise from renders. It is based on the OptiX – NVIDIA acceleration engine and therefore has the same GPU requirements as rendering with Optix.

Start Sample: Sample to start denoising in the 3D Viewport.

Input Passes

Controls which Render Pass the denoiser should use as input, which can have different effects on the denoised image. Generally, the more passes the denoiser has to denoise the better the result. It is recommended to at least use Albedo as None can blur out details, especially at lower sample counts.

None:: Denoises the image using color data.
Albedo:: Denoises the image using color and albedo data.
Albedo + Normal:: Denoises the image using color, albedo, and normal pass data.

Prefilter

Controls whether or not prefiltering is applied to Input Passes for use when denoising. Visible only when using OpenImageDenoise.

None:: Does not apply any prefiltering to the input passes. This option retains the most detail and is the fastest, but assumes the input passes are noise free which may require a high sample count. If the input passes aren’t noise free, then noise will remain in the image after denoising.
Rápida:: Assumes the input passes are not noise free, yet does not apply prefiltering to the input passes. This option is faster than Accurate but produces a blurrier result.
Accurate:: Prefilters the input passes before denoising to reduce noise. This option usually produces more detailed results than Fast with increased processing time.

Path Guiding

Path guiding helps reduce noise in scenes where finding a path to light is difficult for regular path tracing, for example when a room is lit through a small door opening. Important light directions are learned over time, improving as more samples are taken. Guiding is supported for surfaces with diffuse BSDFs and volumes with isotropic and anisotropic scattering.

Nota

Path guiding is only available when rendering on a CPU.
While path guiding helps render caustics in some scenes, it is not designed for complex caustics as they are harder to learn and guide.

Training Samples: The maximum number of samples to use for training. A value of 0 will keep training until the end of the render. Usually 128 to 256 training samples is enough for accurate guiding. Higher values can lead to a minor increases in guiding quality but with increased render times.

Superfície: Enable path guiding for the diffuse and glossy components of surfaces.

Volume: Enable path guiding inside volumes.

Lights

Light Tree

Use a light tree to more effectively sample lights in the scene, taking into account distance and estimated intensity. This can significantly reduce noise, at the cost of a somewhat longer render time per sample.

Certain lighting properties are not accounted for in the light tree. This include custom falloff, ray visibility, and complex shader node setups including textures. This can result in an increase in noise in some scenes that make use of these features.

Note, this feature is currently disabled for AMD GPUs on macOS.

Light Threshold: Probabilistically terminates light samples when the light contribution is below this threshold (more noise but faster rendering). Zero disables the test and never ignores lights. This is useful because in large scenes with many light sources, some lights might only contribute a small amount to the final image, and increase render times. Using this setting can decrease the render times needed to calculate the rays which in the end have very little effect on the image.

Avançado

Semente

Valor de semente do integrador para obter diferentes padrões de ruído.

Use Animated Seed (clock icon): Changes the seed for each frame. It is a good idea to enable this when rendering animations because a varying noise pattern is less noticeable.

Sample Offset

The number of samples to skip when starting render. This can be used to distribute a render across multiple computers then combine the images with bpy.ops.cycles.merge_images

Scrambling Distance

Automático: Uses a formula to adapt the scrambling distance strength based on the sample count.

Porta de visão: Uses the Scrambling Distance value for the viewport rendering. This will make the rendering faster but may cause flickering.

Multiplier: Lower values Reduce randomization between pixels to improve GPU rendering performance, at the cost of possible rendering artifacts if set too low.

Min Light Bounces: Número mínimo de rebatimentos de luz para cada caminhos, depois do qual o integrador usa Roleta Russa para terminar caminhos que contribuem menos para a imagem. Definir um valor alto resulta em menos ruído, mas pode também aumentar o tempo de renderização consideravelmente. Para um número baixo de rebatimentos, é altamente recomendável definir esse valor igual ao número máximo de rebatimentos.

Min Transparent Bounces: Minimum number of transparent bounces. Setting this higher reduces noise in the first bounces, but can also be less efficient for more complex geometry like hair and volumes.

Amostras de camada

Quando camadas de renderização possuem número de amostras por camada definido, essa opção especifica como usá-las.

Use:: As amostras das camadas de renderização irão sobrepor as definições de amostras da cena.
Envolto:: Vincula as amostras das camadas de renderização às amostras da cena.
Ignorar:: Ignora as definições de amostras por camada de renderização.
