pixelated 3ds vray render

[gassa]

Help Please! I have struggled with this render for a little while, not sure why it is pixelated, I am using 3ds max 2010 with the Vray adv 2.00.02 plugging. the textures I have used are vray, dirtmaps with subdivs of 128. I am using Reinhard colour mapping, the image sampler is adaptive DMC with "catmull-Rom" antialising filter. the adaptive DMC image sampler is set to 1/256 subdivs, clr thresh:0.001. in the settings menu adaptive amount:0.85 noise threshold is 0.001 min samples are set to 64. global subdivs multiplier is 20.0.

 

 

 

thanks

Those setting render? Even if you set that off in the 80's I think it would still be going today.

 

Your image is really small and hard to see what you mean by Pixilation. Is it possible to post something a little larger? All I can see looks like your mapping is off.

[John Dollus]

Obvious question is- what pixel resolution are you using to render?

i also second Corey's notes. those settings are set extremely high.

[Scott Schroeder]

I don't think extremely high is the best way to describe those settings. I think it needs to be xtremely high. The X is for "holy Jeebus!" I guess it renders since it's such a super simple elevation view.

 

Let's re-wind. What are you trying to achieve? What is your average texture resolution and what is your render resolution? A 512x512 brick texture rendered at 6,000 pixels wide isn't going to show very well regardless if you set your settings to infinity.

thanks guys for the prompt response, I eventually had to increase the parameters to see if there would be a drastic change in quality but surprisingly there isn't, I hope this screen shot mid render can explain the quality,

the output size width: 1301 hight: 191 aspect: 6.81152 pixel ratio:1

Your screenshot shows "1600perc" frame-buffer zoom of default 640x480px resolution, so, obviously, you see zoomed-in pixels.

 

It's rather bizzare, but I am also fan of CSI :- )

Hah!

Try rendering at a larger size. Your current size would struggle to fill a postage stamp.
