Weird error?

Something weird happened with my last render. I wanted to see my iceland render in higher quality so i moved up the quality to 1 and AA to 10. (I did not changed anything else) The end result was a very grainy pixelated picture. Also render time went 6x longer than the usual. This happened with me already with another render. Does anybody knows what it can be?

As a rule, I never take quality up higher than 1 and AA up higher than 0.7. I think your AA setting is much to high. Of course wait and see what others have to say about this.

That shouldn't happen in theory.Any TGD to share to test it? A basic one with the error should be enough.

I will do another test before as the error vanished when I went back to quality 0.8 and AA9. I will re render tonight and if wrong again I will upload the .tgd. Thx Kadri :)

A quality of 1 and AA of 10 shouldn't cause any problems. It's quite high, but still not over the top.

I agree with Hannes. Did you save the image? Can you post it, or a crop of it? Is it possible that you enabled Write to GI Cache?

ehhh....i didn't save the output as i got pissed that 7 hrs of rendering time went down on the toilet... :D
Last night I had no time to try but will do tonight. Hope the error comes again so we can see what happened as it is the second time that a render went bananas... ???

You probably have put the wrong numbers only.
1 instead of 10 or 0.1 instead of 1 for example. I did this in the past.

hmmm i have his in my mind since a day also. I might set AA to 1 instead of 10 but this can produce a pxelated picture? hmmm not sure...and render time went from 45 min up to 6 hrs...

Up going render times makes it look like it was another problem.

Rendered again 3000x2000 with quality of 1 and AA of 11 and it was okay. I was not able to create the same effect...
Well, thanks for the ideas folks. Probably it was a glitch in the system...

Well, if it happens again be sure to save both the image and the TGD.
