textures flat in iray

lumiasart

hey everyone,

today I opened and older scene and found that the textures look flat in iray. I tried rendering it and it does look better. Could it be a viewport issue?

thanks!

Looks like you've turned on the denoiser and just aren't used to how it looks early in a render.

The Iray Drawstyle is not identical to the render, it may also be that one of the differences accounts for what you are seeing.

from what I googled drawstyle is what we see in the iray viewport, us that it? if that's what you mean than I don't think that's what's happening because I opened a recently finished scene and the iray view doesn't look like that...

here is a comparison of what the viewport shows in more recent scenes... (these were taken with a phone). it has a certain "depth" to the skin and none of that strange blurriness.

The Denoiser is In the Render Settings tab, under Filtering.  Post Denoiser is what it says.
