Blotchy Night Rendering

[Jorgensen_dk]

I’m trying to create an evening look… are there some tricks one can use?

there seems to be a lot of noise, especially in the front of the image, but also the image as a whole.

the lights are a simple box with a emitting material. will i get better results if i use enscape lights?

thanks

Hey @Jorgensen_dk , indeed, you should get better results when using our dedicated Enscape lights. You can try to replace the emitting materials in your project with our own lights, as this should already help with reducing the noise at hand. Let me know in case you have any questions regarding this procedure!

[Jorgensen_dk]

There are also some artifacts on the ground that should be improved/solved in the next preview.

im getting this mess in the foreground for both renderings and animations.

i turned down the “Ambient Lighting”.

turned down Exposure.

changed out the “material emissive lights” for the “Enscape OBJ’s”

[Demian_Gutberlet]

Also the video export looks worse now, full of big GI splotches. Something is wrong with the current preview.

@Demian Gutberlet
i have the latest and greatest and i have also tried the previous version and im still having that problem.

Quick question, does the performance / capability of the graphics card affect things like the blotches?

Would a better graphics card produce a better result?

[Thomas_Willberger]

Thanks for sharing your preview feedback, we will incorporate that.

@paul_3 no there is no relation.

[Paul_Russam]

Thanks, I was hoping my splodges were due to poor hardware but now I know its poor meatware (me)

Should be optimized in our latest preview 2.3.2.703-g2edb284

@Jonathan_Knoefel I did what you told me but the render is still the same.

[Thomas_Willberger]

Don’t use emissive surfaces that are very intense and tiny. Emissive surfaces that are very small and bright cause these kind of artifacts. Use artificial lights instead or in addition and your problems will be gone.
