  • Getting animated noise on every surface

    Posted by Richard Windsor on February 13, 2014 at 7:50 pm

    I am working on a comp and all of a sudden every surface when I render it out as a movie has a grain to it that looks as if its animated noise. Not sure what in the lighting I screwed up to get it to do that and can’t seem to figure it out. Any ideas?

    Are you using GI (irradiance) or AO?

    I am using AO

    First thing I’d do is turn off AO and see if that clears it up. Other things that can be noisy are GI, area shadows and blurry reflections/transparency.

    Will give those a try when I render it next time and see what happens. If it is the AO what settings do I need to modify to get rid of it? I have to have the AO.

    Increasing the AO samples and/or quality will reduce the noise. It might also help to lower the distance.
