    Hey everyone, haven’t posted here in a while, hope you’re all doing awesome.

    My topic/question is has anyone used finalRender? (https://www.finalrender.com/) I’m trying to really push 4d, and render times are getting in my way a bit, and we don’t have a farm in the studio I’m at. It seems like a half decent alternative to a 5k powerhouse/multicore workstation.

    Or does anyone know of any decent tutorials online for pushing GI the most efficiently and least flickering way possible? I’m familiar with baking, but it doesn’t apply to every situation.

    Big ears cheers

    I have finalRender and it’s decent — certainly faster than Cinema when it comes to GI. If you’re not in a huge hurry you might wait to check out the upcoming VRay4C4D which is looking pretty great from what I’ve seen.

    In terms of Cinema GI, you basically have two options to reduce flicker: 1) turn up your settings very high (slooow), or 2) use stochastic mode (also slooow).

    A friend recommends using stochastic mode with very low samples and no AA, combined with scene motion blur, which blurs out the grain, provides AA, and also of course adds motion blur. 🙂

    Adam —

    Thanks for the tip. I emailed CEBAS and they haven’t gotten back to me yet, but can you output multipass w/FR? So we have a GI pass from the FR plugin? Along with all other passes?

    fyi

    I think cebas is cheaper.

    Thanks
