I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do to get rid of this moire pattern in the carpet. The resolution of the render is Ultra HD already. Anything else I can tweak?
Thanks!
Diane
Choose a different flooring covering; it’s the pattern on the carpet that is making the effect. (Who would choose a carpet with red and green in the weave!)
You could try rotating it (eg) 45º, but I’m not sure that it would work.
@dldieterich2 , thanks a lot for your post.
This is a normal effect, as mentioned by Gadget, caused by the covering (more specifically by this certain pattern and texture scale) - you could either pick a different covering, or decrease the scaling of the texture as in, go into our material editor → click on the Texture → enable Explicit texture transformation → set the Width and Height value to 0.5 for example.
Unfortunately, my client did choose this carpet so this is what I have to use. It also has to be the same scale as the material actually is. (just as an FYI…this is for a 6 million dollar project for Amazon, so can’t question the designer’s judgement (:
If what I’m hearing is correct, there’s no way to accurately represent this material and not have the moire effect occur?
Yes and no: the moir shown is a fairly accurate representation of what you would see; the only thing I would recommend is to post-production to remove/blur the moir.
You could try to render at the largest output resolution (custom size mode) and downscale the image later. Also you could try to blur the texture a little bit, maybe it helps for the sampling and doesn’t interact so much with the output pixel anymore. Maybe you could try both together.
@dldieterich2 , as Micha already mentioned, blurring the texture and/or increasing the output resolution via our Capture tab in the Enscape Settings could actually help to reduce/avoid this effect. We allow a custom resolution of up to 8192x8192, just so you’re aware.
