Sep 12, 2015 at 13:33 comment added sambler You can say that you approximate 10,000 samples by combining multiple images of less samples.
Sep 12, 2015 at 8:22 comment added rudolf97 Ok... That seems quite complicated... Because I do not wanna say 10000 samples, if it equals for example only 5000 samples...
Sep 12, 2015 at 7:18 comment added gandalf3 See blender.stackexchange.com/a/2808/599. If I understand correctly, I think this would depend on the scene and how well samples are distributed. The stacking technique is more or less equivalent to straight Monte Carlo integration. The reason cycles does slightly better is because it uses Quasi-Monte Carlo integration, which tries to avoid duplicate samples. The increase in efficiency with Quasi-Monte Carlo integration is apparently difficult to calculate..
Sep 12, 2015 at 7:01 comment added rudolf97 So is there any formula, for how many samples it would be as a straight render?
Sep 12, 2015 at 6:57 comment added gandalf3 Yes, almost. This technique isn't quite as noiseless as rendering the equivalent number of samples at once.
