Hi!


How does Mantra calculate the render ETA?

1] Is the average tile to render a bucket extrapolated to the number of buckets that still need to be run
or
2] Is the rest of the scene complexity somehow considered?

1] would mean that if buckets in a very complex area are rendered first and the rest is e.g. just sky, the ETA will drop dramatically after those complex buckets are done. Is that correct?

Any input welcome!

Thanks,
matt

The first one. The ETA is rarely accurate, unless your scene completely fills the frame.
