I saw a thread like this posted on CGTalk and was wondering the same thing. I have VueI and I'm still getting some noise in my renders even at the Ultra setting. For the project I'm doing I need a crisper 3D look like I use to get with Bryce years ago. Any setting suggestions? Thanks

The best way to do that is to use User settings.

• increase the Min number of rays (the value depends on the type of materials in your scene)

• increase the Quality factor of volumetric lights (if you are using them)

• increase the Render Quality factor to 90% of more (in Render Options). I don't remember the exact name of that parameter - it is the one that is greyed out in every mode except user. Of course, quality will come at the cost of time.... but then again, who said you could have both :)

Thanks Agiel...I'll try playing around with these settings.

I think that if you remove most of the ambiant light, your renders will be a lot crisper, without going the 90% quality boost, which will increase render time 4 times at least! Do this in the atmosphere tab.
