Creo Render Studio CPU & GPU rendering output difference for Emissive appearances in Creo Parametric

Modified: 14-Apr-2021   


Applies To

  • Creo Parametric 7.0.4.0
  • Creo Parametric 8.0.0.0
  • Nvidia Quadro RTX 3000 and above on newer drivers

Description

  • KeyShot library update in Creo Render Studio from KeyShot 7 to KeyShot 9.3 introduced GPU rendering support for Nvidia RTX series graphics cards
    • Denoise functionality for GPU rendering mode was also introduced
      • Default Denoise setting controlled by config.pro option denoise_render with values yes/no
      • Denoise only available for GPU rendering
  • Emissive Appearances could have mismatch between GPU and CPU rendering modes
  • Emissive Appearances rendered in GPU mode might appear brighter or darker than CPU mode
  • Same intensity set for lights appear lighter/darker when rendered in GPU mode versus CPU mode
  • Rendering output for model saved on machine using CPU rendering that contains emissive appearances will look different when retrieved on machine using GPU rendering
  • All commonly used appearances, scenes, and lighting match between CPU and GPU rendering except emissive appearances
  • Example rendering outputs containing emissive appearances on lights:
    • CPU reference rendering (256 samples)
      • CPU rendered image 256 samples
    • GPU reference rendering (256 samples with Denoise enabled)
      • Notice CFL bulb, monitor, and lamp intensity differences
      • GPU rendered image 256 samples with denoise
    • GPU corrected intensity rendering (256 samples with Denoise enabled)
      • Monitor & CFL bulb intensity decreased, & lamp intensity increased
      • GPU intensity corrected rendered image 256 samples with denoise
    • GPU corrected intensity rendering (after 8 minutes elapsed with Denoise enabled)
      • GPU intensity corrected rendered image 8 minutes rendering time with denoise
