[hopefully] a simple question

As I reduce reflection glossiness the reflection become less distinct. But as I do it also becomes grainy. Like a heavily textured surface rather than a semi-gloss paint. I have tried to increase the resolution of my HDRI lighting the scene but it did not help.

Is there a way to change this?

Thanks.

Simple answer…increase the subdivisions. That will make it smoother, but it will take longer.

For a long answer you’ll have to wait for the tutorial I’m putting together. It will explain glossiness and sampling among a whole lot of other things. I’ll let you know when I post the tutorial.

Thanks for the short answer and also for the long answer. I will look forward to it.
