Hello,
Quick and easy question:
How to set render passes in Fast mode rendering? - I know 100 passes is the default, but I like to higher it (lets say 200 passes), and I'm well satisfied with fast mode over accurate (due to the time consuming).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ivan.
Hey Ivan,
I had a quick look in the options:
I think that should do it
Oh .. probably it's depending on software release..
I use Visualize 2016, and this is what I have in that tab:
Probably that's why I was not able to find it .. It's probably not adjustable in earlier versions..
Thanks for the support!

Ah, I see... I checked 2017 as well and it seems to be missing there too. So it looks like you'll have to download 2018 for this feature!
Hi Ivan,
I can confirm that the option to adjust the render pass count for Fast Mode was introduced in 2018.
We were thinking to make it configurable directly in the Output Tools in the same way as for Accurate Render Mode. Would you guys find this useful? What are your thoughts?
Hi Bastian. It would be wonderful to be included in the output tool window.
Hey Bastian,
That would probably come in handy. But it would be nice to have it available somewhere around the viewport too for realtime rendering. Just like "Frames Per Second" is available above the animation timeline.
Here's a couple of suggestions I came up with. If you want it out of view you could put it under the render mode buttons:
But I would personally prefer something like this at the bottom of the screen:
EDIT: the second suggestion would probably be handy for realtime rendering in "accurate" as well... If you don't want it to chug away ad infinitum...
Looks like someones monthly contest render is looking pretty good!
Hehe thanks man ;D A bit of a shameless teaser. It's getting there for sure!
Hi Bastian.
In my point of view, it's good to have it as long as it improve final quality and still keep fast render mode significantly faster than accurate mode. We all choose fast render mode over accurate only (and only) because it is much faster..
- It should be limited for maximum value..
A question: What is the limit of render passes in fast mode? ..does it have any effect if you set it with 1000 passes or so.. I have a feeling that it won't change too much if you increase passes over 150-200 ..just time consuming
-Going from this logic, it might be better to make it as default (and not adjustable), the best count of passes over time ratio (based on your knowledge..). Otherwise we can use preview mode for even faster..
Thanks for support.
