Hm, so it rendered only 13 seconds faster?
FPrime to the rescue.

You will see more dramatic speed increases with more complex scenes. Below 5 minutes rendertime (v8) you will see only little or sometimes even no gain with the perspective camera (v9). But that shouldn't distract you, cause the speed increase that kicks in with heavy raytraced mega poly scenes will make your day :)

Any speed difference with "advanced" camera comparing to classic camera ? I remeber proton showed some demo with advanced/classic/perspective/ortho and bake camera in Lw9 ?

What render settings? To be honest, I don't think it looks very good at all. It's too dark, and it looks really flat, as if it was rendered with just a flat ambient light. I assume it was rendered using irradiance caching, but if so with what settings?

The perspective camera is one of the "advanced" cameras. It just doesn't involve you setting any parameters up - you simply select perspective camera, and it works much as the old camera did. In a lot of cases it works faster, and as some have already mentioned, with some scenes (especially poly-heavy scenes with lots of reflections/refraction) it can render MUCH faster...

Nitisara,

The image is missing because the forum servers had a problem a while back and a lot of image files got eaten
