Problem with Mental Ray

Hi all

 

I've been trying to render this scene with mental ray but I always get these little squares even when I try to render with high quality... Does anybody know what is going wrong with my rendering parameters?

 

By the way, I'm working for 2 months in Autodesk viz and I would like to have some critics and suggestions to improve my first image...;)

 

Thanks to all

 

King Regards

in CG nothing is normal and everything is normal...

 

with bad settings, huge rendertimes are normal...

with good settings, huge rendertimes are normal...

with good settings, rendertimes are huge... that's normal...

 

it can go anyway... but what is normal?

 

In CG everything is not real, so what is normal?

Well said:)

 

Without any info on your light and render settings i is difficult to say why its taking so long.

 

If you are just using FG then yes rendertimes can be huge. Try using photons and FG together, your results will be improved and render times dropped. Start with low settings and work up.

 

An oft overlooked settings are the Indirect illumination settings of each light. Readup in the help files to get a fuller explination of each of these settings.
