***** Amazing render..love the epic scale...
* Thanks, Rashad. It is pleasant to hear.
Amaaaaaazing! Wow and wow again. I can feel the weight of the atmosphere in this shot, and I love the grand sense of the landscape. I swear there is no limit to what you can do.
* Thank you, David. Relatively "sampling blur" and noise, I understand. Here, however, the noise is not very noticeable. As for the phase, with it is not always possible to eliminate the bands, but it can add noise. Although, it is a matter for further research...
* Thanks, Horo. All the works I convert from "name.bmp" in "name.jpg" the same way with PhotoPaint. File size rarely exceeds 500 KB. Miniatures have a different name: "nameMin.jpg". Thumbnail size does not usually exceed 20 KB. I even changed the name of the file from Cyrillic to Latin. None of this helps! Some files are not loaded!
I like the mood of this artwork and the rich vegetation. For the artwork you cannot upload, check if it doesn't exceed the picture size and/or file size. Also, for the thumbnail, and it must have exactly the same name. Sometimes, there is a dot (.) too much and very difficult to see in the explorer.
I should have explained more clearly. There are two issues. One is noise. The other is banding. The turning off the sampling blur is to counteract the noise which is "enhanced" by jpg compression. The banding, as you say, we have talked about. If you are using sampling blur to add complexity to the cloud edge, then alternatively, phase can be used and offers more control and less high frequency noise.
* Thanks for the detailed comment, David. Switching off of "sampling blur" doesn't rescue a situation. I just checked. Quality/speed parameter = 15. At "quality/speed" = 25 bands are still visible. The increase to 50 rescues a situation. Besides, the cloud is low, is close to the camera and the big size. It too becomes the reason of emergence of strips. I remember, we already discussed this problem. Not each work I can still load on a site. Here it isn't allowed: http://slepalex.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d5edgzv
Amazing! Only issues I can find, and it is almost negligible - volume material could do with slightly higher quality to avoid banding (which is only slight) and I would recommend turning off "sampling blur" if you have it set to reduce the noise in your render. The foliage, the light, the rays, all wonderful. And you have uploaded! So your upload is fixed! 5/5
