Noisy specular reflection in some lights...

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

Heya

I have a spherical and plane light, both of them cast specular reflection.

Now the weird thing is that when I use Spot the specular reflection is smooth, but when I use Vray Plane/sphere its noisy... is that normal ?

Yes, it is normal. An area light will produce area speculars that take into account the light shape. Increasing the light and/or reflection subdivs (depending on which one is causing the noise) will help.

Best regards,
