@MasterZap oh and the tests were done with 10k photons for each the portal and the sun

@MasterZap I also had a mia on the floor, which was not causing problems. only on the window frame and walls it slowed everything down.

@MasterZap refl, refr turned to 0 and the diffuse col 1, weight 1, roughness 0.5 all else turned off. the geo was an empty room 325 polys

@MasterZap of course that is a very simple mia (no refl. no refr.) to make it match the lambert.

@MasterZap it seems MentalRay materials are slowing down my photon emission exponentially. weird. lambert renders in 7 sec. mia in 6 minutes

@beingthere hehe, I am trying to work out a 3d rendering setup, but the software is behaving oddly

grrr… I am only shooting 20k photons into an empty cube, why is it taking 2 minutes to render???? crap

@MasterZap but the sun should be restricted with photon_bbox_min and max, right?

@MasterZap how is the portal light photon thing intended. physical sun & portal shooting photons or just portal?

@Beryll yes, not really how you picture the “cool” and “hip” company that makes these nice machines but it is just a business like any other
