Happy to find out that my "'Morning Sunshine!" render got in top10 on the Cocks & Slobbers Contest 2021!

Great job man. Slushe contests can be tough

This one seems worth it. Going to let it go for awhile.

Question: when you have a proper rig with a good GPU, do you get "better" iterations?

I'm 3000+ iterations all HDRI and still getting noise. Other people are talking about doing 200 iterations with lights and no noise. Curious if your getting more bang for your buck when it comes to iteration "quality" with a GPU.

As far as i know iterations quality (100 will be the same in every rig) are rig independent, but you'll reach more iterations faster, so technically you can get more iterations to get rid of the noise with the same time the weaker rig can, of course that will depend if your noise is just because you are rendering with low iterations or some other problem.

Rendering with a higher resolution and downscalling might help with a stronger rig too.


Edit: For anyone interested and dont know yet, the most important thing to GPU render after everything is loaded in the memory is Cuda Cores, the more the faster. (2k cuda cores gpu will render 2 times faster than a 1k cuda cores gpu)

It's not just about the hardware. The more mesh polygons and maps you have in your scene, the more iterations are needed.
I render with a RTX 2070 8GB (also used for displaying), a simple character with hair (Iray, SubD level 2) and a HDRI environment will aprox. take 15 Minutes for Full HD. A scene like this one (Character with many HD morphs, hair, vellus & body hair, GP anatomy, all SubD level 4, all maps full resolution, environment objects, rendering size 3000 x 4000px) will take more than a day (27 hours in this case, no joke :LOL:). Edit: And it was about 48000, in words forty-eight thousand, iterations.
