I get more noise in really bright areas with vray 3.3.04 http://c2n.me/3uxdoXN.png
with vray 3.3.03 I got this… http://c2n.me/3uxf3CD.png

I have subpixelmapping enabled and read there will be less noise with the new release, but…

any ideas what happens or how I could avoid the noise?

thanks

So the colour threshold value has changed - it’s number used to represent the amount of accuracy you want in your sampling using rgb values, the new version of it is now a percent. Percent accuracy needs smaller numbers to be a similar level of accuracy to the old colour based version so you’ll need to go a bit lower on the colour threshold.

It seems there might be some remaining issue there. I’m still looking into it.

any ideas what happens or how I could avoid the noise?Can you post that part of the scene, just to make sure that my fixes work?

Best regards,

I have tested it in another scene and I get a lot of noise and fireflies… I have to downgrade…
even with subpixelmapping disabled I get these artifacts and noise…
