White dots appearing on renders

[TomA]

I have white dots appearing on certain parts of my current model.

 

Any idea how to get rid of these?

 

Here is an example:

Several thing you could do:

 

1. in Render setup, under Color mapping check clamp output and sub-pixel mapping

2. Try not to use Catmull-Rom filter, but some other, like Blackman or even better Mitchell-Netravali

3. last resort - lover the light value

 

P.S. Oh, yeah, also watch out for indirect illumination settings (irradiance map values, subdivision and samples), though I doubt that caused problem.
