Samples with Light and Refraction

[TragnarionStudios]

Hello;

I´ve a problem when i use a light inside a geometry, like a Lamp, and it has a Translucency material. I did two renders, with the same quality. The difference is that in one I put the light inside the lamp and in the other I put it outside.

If I increase the "GLOBAL DMC (the subdivs mult)" value, I get better results, but render time is increased. Anybody knows a solution to avoid this problem?

Thanks a lot and cheers.

Make the lamp not cast shadows so it's not blocking the vray light - you'll get the light affecting the translucency of the shade but not it won't be blocked by it for sampling of the light rays.

I feel stupid, , the solution was really easy.

Thanks a lot joconnell.

Always happens me too, especially when I've been looking at a scene for ages.
