Silverwing Quick Tip: Understanding Sampling

This tut is made with Octane Version 2022.1_R5 and Cinema 4D Version 2023.1

Hello everyone.
Since I got some positive feedback on last weeks "Understanding Caustics" Tip, I thought I continue and give you a little bit more insight in to the very basics of Raytracing... which is Sampling.
Its again a very theoretical video that lets you peek behind the inner workings of a renderer and tries to give you an understanding what why good sampling is so important in modern render engines.

P.s. leave a comment if you have any good Idea for a future quick tip / tut.

incredible... I'm so bad at reading manuals and detailed written guides on this stuff. Having a visual is an absolute luxury. Thank you kindly sir

Love all your breakdowns, thanks so much!

Love your tutorials a ton. I want to know if you could do a quick tip on BRDF models. They always stump me when trying to comprehend.

Thanks for the awesome tip.
I would be interested to know what settings Octane should pay attention to optimize and speed up its work as much as possible without a noticeable loss in image quality.
