Vray Plane Shadow problem

[davidgraham]

Hi, I'm trying to render an animation sequence using Vray/3DS Max 2015 with a HDRI lighting on a dome light as my main lighting and reflection scheme but when I render a small test of Targas I see a lot of shadow movement, If I look at the Alpha I noticed it has color on the plane with lots of noise, I tried turning off atmospheric shadows, matte GI off on my plane, still shows up as grainy shadows?

 

I think its the dome light that I cant control in the shadows, so I tried a Vray Sun to cast shadows but I get a light brown shadow? So tried a Vray plane light to cast shadows and I get no shadow? go's on and on. I'm loving the renderer but It driving me crazy.

 

Im using a HQ car model that I want to use a flying car.

 

My Vray Settings are:

 

AA: Adaptive Sub Division 5 for tests and 25 for my final

 

Linear Multiplier for color mapping sub-pixel on and clamp on 1.0

Affect Background ticked off, color and gamma set to 2.2

 

GI primary: brute force 20

GI secondary: Light cache 1000

 

One source light with HDRI locked on the dome light.

If you right click on your plane object (what ever you're casting shadows onto), there should be a vray properties tab. Open that and then check off receive GI.
