The DMC clr thres

[glorybound]

shadows

I tried both and none of the suggestions produced anything different.

[sea2stars]

Eh. When in doubt fake it; try a dirt material on it.

[glorybound]

dirt

I tried everything so a dirtmap might have to do.

What is your secondary bounce engine an what are it's settings?

[glorybound]

Light Cache

It was at 2200, but I can drop it down to 800 without much loss.

Bleeding

I don't think you are seeing much bleeding... it is just the color of the walls they selected. I'll try the vray material override to see what happens.

How are you lighting your scene ?

Shadow

vraysun/sky/cam. I do have one vray light behind the camera.

[dlparisi]

Other than getting darker, does tuning off the vray light get any better contact shadow on the columns?

I meant the irr clr thresh, .4 is to low , I'd try .2 to .3

that's what I was wondering, I'd switch that off too and see what happens.

Shadows

I turned that light off and it didn't help the scene, but it looks like the irr clr thresh is the winner. It is also a time killer, but that is okay. I have never played with the irr clr thresh so I am glad I posted. I rarely get interior projects so I am excited about this.

For interior scenes I like to use the Universal settings:

I have to take down the noise to .002 to get a noiseless image (which takes a while to render) but the results are quite nice.
