Top Left is the reference/start image Quality 100 Intensity 55 Effect 100 HDR moon-bluegrey.hdr (Horo) Render time 28:34 Top Right I've removed the green transparent spheres changed nothing else Render time 17:13 Bottom Right I've removed the red reflective spheres from the image above again changing nothing else Render time 14:52 Bottom Left the final adaption in this series changing the HDR to St peters, had to drop the intensity to 30 Render time 16:50 Conclusions Transparency is very expensive in terms of render time compaired to say reflection. Also the HDR has a great impact on the level of shadow banding, note how dispite being at the same quality the St peters shows distinct shadows - which correspond to strong light sources in the hdr. Where as the moon image is very even and hides any banding in the shadows well at high quality.
