Sun on reflective wood...

[swisscad]

Hello
Its very hard for me to get rid of these white reflective noises on the wood floor when the sun is enabled...

Any suggestions?

Thanks

At VfR 1.5 try to disable "affect specular" at the sun light options. Did it help?

At 1.05 use a dir light instead a sun light. The sun light caused a bright reflection, difficult to sample some times.

Thanks Micha
I did that as well but then the rest of my materials are affected...
any other suggestions?
vfr 1.5

Set the highlight glossiness at 1, so that the highlight is not blurred and invisible. Sideeffect: other lights (spot/point) don't create a highlight too.

You can also try turning on clamp output and subpixel mapping in the color mapping flyout. It helps with over-bright lights like the sun.
