Mental Ray Noise in Max 2016

[depictstudio]

Hi All,

 

Having a few problems with 3DS Max Mental Ray 2016. So with early on scenes we've been experiencing lots of noise, which is fine as we've been able to clean them up at the expense of huge render time.

 

Now upon switching on Render Elements the Noise half's, if not disappears totally.

Any ideas? Its literally chalk and cheese regarding render times, and wed ideally not want to keep render elements on for test renders.

 

Many thanks,

I have the same problem, it seems to happened most with free lights.

can you post your render setting ans scene setting. It is almost impossible to know why you have noise without more information.

The latest version of mental ray try to unify all quality sample in a few controls. But again without knowing what your scene and setup is, it is hard to give any advise.
