A nice mill...I think

[zapcat]

Hi,

I'm just modelling a mill but I keep getting errors in the render. See the image. None of the model has any errors (anymore... I had to redo a few things).

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

i had the exact same problem over and over again. tried all the tips and tricks shown in the 1001 tutorials dealing with splotches. those are mainly:

*get rid of raytrace materials (i used only vray mats)
*run the cropping script that was written (you can look it up in the tips and trick forum) - didn't help.
*increasing the GI settings - didn't help either.

BUT - i found a weird yet effective solution: i noticed that if i save the file, open a previous and less complex version of it (i always keep backups at critical points), render it, and then re-open the funny-acting file - it renders fine (!)
i have no explentaion, but it does the trick for me...
hope this helps.

erm i think this is a render setting problem:
you have "photon map" activated in your GI-settings. try "irradience map" instead with "direct computation".

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WHEN I USE TECHNICAL CAMERA PLUGIN

When using technical camara make sure that you uncheck the "max compatiblity shade context" or something like that, under system options in Vray rollout.
