SMTut HDR glass query
Nilla I am follwing this tut....have even paused the vid to replicate settings I can see on the screen if Im not sure...but then when I render (all settings replicated) I get this weird arse artifacting/pixellation?? When I render in straight MR its fine but using the software as the render it comes out like this?? I am 75% through part 2 at this point.
Cheers bullet

Also there's just one spot in that scene so you'd always need a lot more light than that to get good glass which you'll get to in the later parts when you'll render with in mental ray with Image Based Lighting and FG. Remember that this technique with IBL is something you can use in any case where you have a scene with only a few objects and no real environment for them to reflect, you'll just have to wait for your renders for a while
I included the probe I used with the tutorial because I find it works well with glass, but if you look in the resources section https://www.simply3dworld.com/downloa...=none&typeid=3 under HDRI you can get some other probes to try out (I'm not sure how good these are though, I've never used them, but if you search google you'll find tons of free probes). It basically comes down to finding a probe that gives you the result you want in cases like this.
