Large scale terrain rendering with cleaner grass surface

[pietervanstee]

Hi,

I'm working on a project of a larger scale.
There is a central existing building that will be remodelled, and around it a golf course will be constructed.
The attached image is a very low quality draft render but I'm also getting this problem on the zones where there is shorter grass with higher quality render settings.
Does this have to do with the GI settings?
If there's anyone that can share some tips for this render setup, it would be much appreciated!



Thank you,
Pieter

I assume the problem is with the black spots on the grass, is that correct? What are your current GI settings? Does it happen with Brute Force?

Hi, thank you for your reply...
Actually I've posted this thread also in the max section, I couldn't find the option to delete it here.

The rendersettings were quite low, as this was a test, increasing the settings solved the black spots.
Thanks for your reply!
