The bucket sampler
- [Instructor] The adaptive or bucket sampling system in V-Ray adds controllable adaptivity to the image sampling process, meaning that based on number of user-specified input parameters, the engine can and will make some very deliberate choices about where and how it decides to use the sample counts made available to it. To enable this in V-Ray Next For SketchUp, all we need do is turn off the default progressive option. When we hit render now, we see, once the light cache precalc has finished, that we render not with a series of continuous refinements as in the previous exercise, but with a bucket system that methodically renders through the various areas of the image, bringing them up to our specified quality level. The controls for the bucket system act similar to those found on the progressive engine, only this time along with the quality slider and by extension the noise limit value, we also have these min and max…
