Noisy Matte Shadows

[TDF-TK]

Hello,

I am having a bit of trouble with matte shadows, I cant get them to clean up to a satisfactory level. Is there something i am doing wrong on my end?

I have attached 2 images that show the problem - both are using the same settings but the matte version has much more noise in the shadows.

I have tried using both the material wrapper and the VRay object properties and get the same results.

The scene is a simple dome light with a plane light to cast a shadow and the teapot has a chrome shader applied and the floor is a 128 grey default VRay shader.

Hi,

This should be fixed in the latest update of V-Ray Next. If you are not using the latest version, could you update and try again.

Hi Martin,

I am using V-Ray Next for 3ds Max, update 1.1 that was released on 18th of December 2018.

This is the latest version i can see on the download portal.

Hi,

According my test, using the latest V-Ray Next 1.2 from 27th of March and replicating your scenario, there is almost not any noticeable difference.
Could you send us your example scene to support@chaosgroup.com for investigation. Please mention this thread.

Strange!

I have attached attached a few images using vray next 1.2 - i am getting the same result as before.

If it is working on your end it must be user error. I am using 3d max 2016 if that is of any relevance.

Will send a scene through to support.

Thanks for your help!
