Vray Sun/Sky Specular Highlights too Noisy Please Help

[edgarbarron]

Hi guys. First time posting here

I am currently studying VRayMtl2Sided, for which I created a simple scene with a Boston Fern created in SpeedTree and imported to Maya 2016.

The scene is being illuminated with V-ray Sun and Sky. The settings of the sampler and GI can be seen in this image.

The problem I have is that I can not find the way to increase the samples that the Specular element receive (Observe Specular and Sample Rate)

I understand that the shadows and quality of the specular highlights are linked to the subdivisions of any Vray Light, but I can not find a way to increase these for the Vray Sky, as there are only subdivs for the shadows withing Sun settings.

 

The materials are set as shown.

I feel it is very simple to fix, but I have no idea how to fix it, I thought of using another light for the specular, but I do not know how well that idea is.

Thank you very much for your time.

your issue is with antialiasing, not specular highlights and light samples etc.
