This is wonderful, thank you for taking the time to make this video. I think I’ve just answered my question in watching what you’ve done here – you are using Global Illumination, I do not. I am using the built in physical renderer with just a lot of area lights, many as objects that cover large areas and that is when I get the dot artifacting. I obviously have to use GI to eliminate said artifacts. That’s a bummer as I have quick turnarounds on projects and don’t have the time to tweak and render GI. Thank you for helping me come to this helpful conclusion!

Another example. The squiggly whiter lines at the top are supposed to be lights but you can see the dots it casts out to the surface on either sides of the squiggles. Samples are cranked to 1000, scale of project is accurate to real world.

Thanks. Here’s a perfect example. I’ve used the torus in this scene as an area light object, casting light onto the plane below. I’ve cranked the samples all the way up to 1000…still dotty!
This seems to happen when I need to cover large areas with shaped area lights.

Thank you for the detailed information!

Thanks, Andy. I recall hearing something like that in my earlier days of learning about video formats. I guess that’s a rule that never changes.

Thanks, Michael. I think I recall learning that in my early days of video but forgot about that little detail.

Thanks, Walter. This would be a MP4.

This makes sense. Thank you Jim!

Hi Will, as I recall, I had to abandon this project as I was unable to figure it out and as you can see from the responses, no one else seemed to be working with in the VR realm. Hopefully somebody can chime in if this thread is refreshed, I think VR has become a lot more mainstream in the past couple years.

Fantastic, thanks so much, Brian.
I put the lights under the camera rig object and sure enough, comparing the first and last rendered frames showed identical lighting.
Good call!
Cheers,
Brian
