I've just done a test render of a picture and like 5.08, 5.09 seems to create rather noisy renders, especially around the hair of imported poser figures. My Bryce head says up the 'Subrays per pixel' setting but an overnight render at 8 srpp is no better than the basic 2. Is there a better way of tackling this?

Did you try adjusting the quality threshold? In the past, I've gotten excellent object-antialiasing with 90% to 100% quality-threshold and 8 to 9 subrays.

I saw the option but wasn't sure how 'powerful' or 'performance expensive' it was.

The choices available are quite bewildering and it's difficult to judge what gives you the best bang for your buck.

I'll give it a try. Thanks for your help.

superior aa produces alot more noise then standard so try using standard to begin with, weird but thats how it is and then up subrays and quality threshold if its still noisy.
