Hey Tim,
I tried a render here with the extra sampling level set, but Maxwell doesn’t seem to be printing this value out to the render log. We currently pull the sampling level from the line that looks like this:
2015-02-17 07:33:47: 0: STDOUT: maxwell:[INFO]: - Desired sampling level : 6.000000However, I’m not seeing anything regarding the extra sampling level. It’s quite possible that my Maxwell scene isn’t set up properly for this, so can you post a render log from a job where this is happening? We can take a look to see if it contains any useful output that we could watch for.
If it doesn’t, we might have to talk to the guys at Next Limit to see if this is something they can add to their render logging.
Note: The reason we don’t want to go with the sampling level that is set when submitting the job is that this won’t always be overwritten on submission. In that case, there is no sampling level stored with the job, so it’s much more reliable to pull it from Maxwell’s render log.
Cheers,
Ryan
