here's the settings for the 3rd image... Max Distance - made the rays cast further Bias - sample rays start a bit higher off the surfaces Num Samples - more rays are cast, for smoother shading ...note that final image with 16 samples was not a ton different than 6 or 9 in other tests, but adds to render time, so you should be able to get away with fewer samples.
