Right now, there is an AA issue with unbiased renders. I'm working on it, sorry for the inconvenience!

I wasn't quite sure but I didn't think I ever had any AA issues with MLT in KT. Thanks, Chris.

This render uses an hdr global for illumination along with a combination of ies and twilight point lights for the canopy downlights and interior.
I used Bidirectional Path Tracing > 12 hours >210 passes @ 1500x821. I've included a shot of the SketchUP model setup.

Yeah, thats very nice. The floor looks better also. MLT is good. There is a slight AA issue at the windows, could be to re-sizing the original?
Oh and thanks for the reply about the render times.

I highly recommend getting a corei7 (8 threads!)... they are smokin' w/ Twilight

Yeah, I'm envious of you guys running those. It may happen sooner than later

I'll see about getting this file to you to play with. Could be during the week. Thanks.

rcossoli, can you tell me how many hours this took to render using high+ from the Easy settings and at what resolution? It will be interesting to see the MLT render of this scene.

Thanks for those tips, Fletch. I attempted a whole scene re-render using Med+ from the Easy but I estimated the time to be as long or longer than 11 hours. I then tried a test render of just the 2 light canisters and the 2 vanities nothing else. After 4 hours it had only rendered 1 3/4 of the light ...

Thanks Federicospoltore. Yes I used ies lights above and an emitter to the right. The vanities material is set from the template mats-silver then set the shininess to 7.

Fletch, so are you saying High or High+ from the Express > Easy?

First try with Twilight. I rendered this scene with PhotonMap Med+AA0.3 @ 800x800, I usually use MLT. This took 11 hrs 37 min which surprised me a little as I thought it would be quicker.

I noticed the upper utility wire on the left seems to disappear against the wood siding.

The full size is very nice, shows off the details. How did you light this? HDR global, physical sky?
