32 Bit Texture clamped in Emission Channel

Post by Yader » Tue Sep 10, 2019 8:28 am

With some of my 32Bit Textures there's a difference in the render between CPU and GPU Mode. It looks like the 32Bit Texture gets clamped. See attached image. Is there a specific way my 32Bit Textures have to be set up, so they work the same in both modes?

a great example for the terminator artifact issue.
Please have a ultra high subdivided sphere, instead of this "low poly" one and also give the CPU more time, that should "fix" this issue.

So my CPU render will get darker over time? This was just for demonstration purposes, the content of the scene isn't just a sphere...

best to upload the pigs, so the devs have a testscene :)

Here's the scene as a .pigs file aswell as a C4D scene.
The clamping is very much visible if you look at the light while turning GPU rendering on and off.
Thanks in advance.

Hey Yader,

thanks a lot for your testscene!

Tested and reproduced your issue. Talked to the devs and it seems this is a "known limitation" that for GPU rendering 32bit emitters (all but EnvMap) get converted to 8bit at the moment, will be fixed in the future...

Hey Zom-B,

thanks for testing, confirming and talking to the devs. I really do hope that this gets fixed as soon as possible :)
