OK, so if I understand correctly, your decision to keep the pixel samples the same was a conscious decision, not an inadvertant omission from the test.

So my response is the same but with a different spin on it.

I'm claiming that your test demonstrated only the obvious. Given two renders where one has 4 times the effective sampling rate as the other, the one with the higher effective sampling rate will look better.

To me, test or no test, it's like you announced the "discovery" that sample rate can improve image quality. We knew that already.

The reason I'm pointing this out so annoyingly is I don't want people to start trying to improve image quality with 4K by 4K renders for no reason.

PS: I still love you. :)

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
