I will set my Pixel Samples to 5, time is 19.1 seconds. Now what of Shading Rate? Shading rate is how many pixels per shading sample to be evaluated to pick up fine details in lighting and texture. It can better be understood as Pixels per Shading Sample.
This is Pixel Samples=1. Since my image has no details, it looks fine.
In films where the figures, props and scenery have smooth coloring (think Toy Story), like my pawns, Pixar would go higher on the Pixels per Shading Sample - often 2 or 3. Let's try 3.
That looks fine to me - and the bonus is render time is down to 13.0 seconds.
Of course, if you have details to render, this is not going to be good.
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)
