hi, the problem comes from the fact that AA of your object after ao-multiply is diffrent than AA of object on white background. and maybe also because that mask was rendered with lwf

If you want to blur floor ao-pass it's better to render separate ao for floor.

show your passes please... one thing to note, if youre using LWF workflow, do not apply gamma before you merge your passes. Use the gamut node after you merge all passes. Otherwise white border will show up, especially if you have any invisible-to-camera objects. I strongly recommend a gnomon video ...

by diffused I meant effect that won't produce any sharp shadows

just plug color attribute into environment (= skylight)
in your material do: phong->bright slot of ambient occlusion shader->surface
and activate FG

most 'clay' renders Ive seen use only diffused light... Skylight + ambient occlusion for example. Or big arealights (very soft shadows)

check attached scene, this is only proof-of-concept. check ice tree and render tree.

caustic one seems to be a better option, it produces final-quality images

we have vray RT at our work and its only a preview tool.

Andreas posted also a little video of Arnold interactive rendering which seems to be a mental-vray-brazil-finalrender killer

photo exposure in SI is kinda necessary If you're using so called "physical" values of sun (then If you dont have PE attached to camera render is completly white) I always try to get the best lighting in 3d first, then do corrections in post. I believe there are 2 or 3 free plugins for fus...

I don't know...only thing that comes to my mind is that you have some odd settings in exposure controls attached to your camera ?

i don't know how you render this out, but your exr is fuxed up this one is a quick fix: 1) goto beauty main, check post-multiply by alpha 2) swithch depth from Format to 8 or 16 int but I suggest you check your render settings, something fishy is going on here If you goto pixel checker tool you will...

hey I saw your flow,
and best thing you can do is to render a new ao-shadow pass for background with car invisible to camera

hard to tell without checking the comp it may be: ao passes rendered on non black background premultiply with alpha is off in loader your 'lightwrapping' nodes makes the alpha of car shrink merge nodes with wrong settings ... whats with transform nodes after each loader ? whats their purpose ? trans...

You can change visibility to bounding box, so framerate with uberhigh.
Of course you won't see anything, but pointcloud will calculate and render fine.

It seems that assemblies are written even for display in viewport ? hmm..

I think puppet megatk has occlusion with vector/blend support.

1 - sky controls hdri bitmap ? you either light your scene with skylight which is simply an automaticaly generated procedural sky OR a hdri bitmap. I don't see how 'skylight' could control the bitmap. if you want to for example mix 'clouds' hdri bitmap with physical sky, just use mix2 plugged into e...

Just for a record,
there is a way to control Blob resolution

set data. BlobCellSize (plug scalar)

its undocumented and unsupported but works.
