white splotches

Vlado,

Here are my settings



Since I moved the sun away I haven't had the problem. I guess my bump is rather high but I need to be able to see it from a reasonable distance.

Well, since this is an issue that comes up quite often, I think it would be best if we add an option for the sun to not be visible in reflections.

Best regards,
Vlado

Hello, sorry to bud in on your thread siliconbauhaus.

its been a while since ive done any 3D at all so im a little rusty. but now i have to start again with a brand new version of vray ( thanks for that Chaos, very solid DR ).

i have somewhat related problems, regarding specs/reflections from lights in the scene. no matter how much i try to squize the sampling of a given material the specular of a light comes out 'wrong' ie. not smooth on a glossy mat.

Below is a render done without maps. Im sure its something i am doing wrong as i am a bit rusty, but please tell me what



Actually the faucet(sp?) is prolly ok.
There is an unsharp mask apllied post .

read the manual ehh....but isnt that like cheating?

ok seriously though if thats the case im just to stupid as it could have saved me a days work. And its even suggested in this thread...tsktsk.

thanks, off to test.

one question though, you say its the 'unbiased' way to have them ( sub/clamp) both off. I've tried insane sampling settings and the dots didnt dissaper, what will make them go away in a unbiased way?

ok test done while writing. I can see though that it did help a little, but not interly gone. Will upload pict in a moment
