Lumen isn't working great?

Development Rendering
1

I was very excited by the possibilities of Lumen after some initial experiments.

But now that I’m trying do do some more “real world” projects with it, I find it’s not working great… There are some dark pattern shadow artifacts that can appear on some indoor renders where light comes from a window.

Also, I find it takes a lot more time to export images with Lumen than with Path Tracing.

I’m using the latest 2023.2

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello,
yes lumen creates a few artefacts in the dark corners, walls, when lack of lighting.

But what you say about rendering time is very surprising. Lumen is very fast, even if you increase the samples per pixel level. Sometime a few seconds. However path tracer takes a few minutes depending on the nomber of lights and power of your machine
