True.. with unified sampling, it's better/faster to let it take care of
crunching through the noise (and crunches only if necessary)
Though in my experience, helping it a little (area lights at ~2, AO at

Looks great! You should be able to drop all of your shader samples
(including AO) right down to 1. Then push up the max samples and quality in

It's pretty easy, and it will change everything. Dof could even speed up
your render due to the more clever sampling scheme. I usually go with

I didn´t optimize for speed but clean glossirendering and have
pretty high settings for each material´s AO node, mostly 32-48
samples, add the glossiness to that and you see time running away.

but you can let it go for 2 hours...! sheesh, I'd be very unhappy with 5
minutes :) but its a good proof that more time = bett
When using high AA samples (which is necessary for DOF or motion blur) I
believe you can pretty much keep diffuse samples down to 1 or 2. You have
to oversample a lot for the DOF, and this AA oversampling takes care of
diffuse areas as well. Also, for this scene with the large windows you may
get a
oops, that was s typo. It's a GTX 680 with only 1536 cuda cores.

if so, that is over 3000 cores!

I'm rendering on a 6 core i7 3930 overclocked to 4 Ghz, so Arnold is
using 12 threads. With AA set lower the DOF is very noisy. But you're
right, maybe I could lower the diffuse samples a little.

how you set it up. The sampling can make a huge difference.

I used Mitchell filtering, I like the sharpness. But it could be that's
causing some problems with the high contrast areas in this render.

you might get away with less bounces, without noticabel quali
Nice job there! I find that it doesn't match the Octane version in terms of
quality (not your fault):
a) It looks "floaty". That's just the problem with FG. You'd need insane
settings to get the flawless contact shadows of an unbiased renderer.
People like to combat that by using ambient occlusion,
It'd be interesting to add a 2nd comparison scene that wasn't an arch-vis
interior type shot.
Arnold always struggles with interiors with lots of bounces.
