Re: What am I doing wrong? Maz, A few thoughts on hiQ rendering. 1 - I have suggested some time ago that the Q1 through Q4 default settings be changed to something more useful. Q1 = as currently Q1 or Q2 Q2 = current Q3 or something close Q3 = current Q4 or something close Q4 = really hiQ settings What plays in the background, is that the average computer has become quite a bit more powerful in the last few years. We could use that extra power to have better rendering without having to wait for days. 2 - Sunflow Albeit long abandoned, I think it's still a powerful rendering engine. I remember reading (a long time ago?) that Emmanuel had plans to use a different rendering engine. I have no idea if that plan is still alive. 3 - Standard file It would be a great idea to have a (few) standard file(s) that causes lots of white spots, has all kinds of transparency, etc, so we can all experiment with different settings on one and the same file. My own test renderings were done under W10, with 6 cores, 8GB of memory, and the installed version of SH3D v5.2 beta1. In a distant past, when photo rendering was introduced in SH3D, a lot of testing was done by several people using different settings and filters. I still may have a backup of some old SH3D versions made for testing purposes with different filters, such as Blackman-Harris and/or Mitchell. The current defaults in Q3 and Q4 are a result of testing done in that period (if they haven't been changed in the mean time). In old forum threads that info should still be available.
