Title: Grainy TG2 renders
Post by: 00XL7SAGA on December 25, 2006, 09:00:53 PM
I'm wondering why my images are grainy when i render them...i can never get a clear render, and my clouds also are very choppy.  What am i doing wrong????

Check your number of samples for your clouds and your atmosphere. Low samples will render quicker but produce lower quality pictures. Too high and you will render longer than is necessary. Experiment.

just don't knock all your settings up too high too soon. Some experimentation is required on your part otherwise you'll be waiting days for your picture :)
