Mental Ray question

[skala67]

I am working with a final gather map solution, and as I have gone forward the final image has started to deteriorate. (no more anti-aliasing, and blurriness) I have not changed any settings, and have even reset the fg map, but i keep getting less and less quality. (see attached)

 

Also any tips on how to speed up Mental Ray when it comes to animations would be great. I am using the final gather map solution at a low final gather preset setting.

 

cheers.

here are the settings. I havent changed them much but the quality in images changed. weird to me. See image for poor anti alias.

Hi,

 

AA 1/16 - 16 or 1/4 - 4 or 1 - 4 or 1 - 16 (you need HIGH levels too... your 1 is not enough)

You need more FG bounces (about 5, - I assume you use FG only) or GI with many more bounces (8-12)... (use GI to lower renderingtime!)

Try density 1 / FG 50 / interpolation 100

definately add AO in your materials!

 

pls post an update with these settings ,-)

 

rgds,
