buckets in GI on single machine

[Fat Tony]

Hi,
I am getting buckets for no known reason to me. No double faces, default settings, LC 1000. There is hidden mesh light inside the panel.

thanks a lot for tips.

Try increasing the Min AA to 2 or 4, or go with a smaller bucket size.
This happens when the first ray of a bucket hits a black pixel. Then V-Ray assumes there is nothing there. Because the scene is quite dark, chances are high that this happens. The description might not be 100% technically correct, but I hope you know what I mean.

Really ? That would never occur to me . will check it out and let know ! thanks a lot

Didn't really help, even when i brightened up the scene. I just redid the mesh light so it has better access to opening under the desk and works cool.

Glad you resolved this, but if you still have the version of the scene where this happens, will you send it to support@chaosgroup.com?

[Fat Tony]

ouh, Sorry i just noticed the response and i have gladly overwritten the buckety version of the scene.
