I'm upping every parameter I can think of and all's that's happening is the render time is increasing...
I'm not too fussed about the weird shapes and angles that're created here; until I sort this noise out there's no point in continuing.

I think its samlping problem. In vray i would turn up the sampling subdivs on the light & the adaptive DMC threshold too on the Vray Tab

2) you didn´t turn on FG. all the samples are kind of "RAW" in this rendering, means there happens no interpolation through final gathering. unless you crank up photons/areaLight samples to ridiculous high values you won´t get smooth results. for testing try FG settings: Accuracy 50 and point density 0,1.
everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.

I'd have to email the file to you GecT, the size limit on the forum is way too low. It would be helpful thoughIf you can post the scene or email it to me, I'll take a look. Better than taking shots in the dark.
Thanks
