Hmmm... I have a little problem, perhaps someone can help me: I have to use unusual high render settings to get rid of grain for LaFemme. But I'm not sure if it's due to the shader set (SSS with refracted eyes), the light (from blackheart's Superfly Studio) or something else.... but usually I have the following render settings: Pixel Samples 14 with branched Path tracing and diffuse samples 5, glossy samples 3, transmission, sub surface, volume and ao samples 2, Mesh light samples 15. That has been more than sufficient in most cases so far but not now. I've been going up to 24 pixel samples and more and still have slight grain on some skin areas (especially in the shadow). Seeing as this is a SSS skin shader would it perhaps be wiser to increase the subsurface samples instead of the whole pixel samples thing? Or anything else? I'm not using progressive refinement because that doesn't work well with branched path tracing and without it I have slightly different colours. Indeed I have seen many LaFemme images, even in promos, with grain so I thought perhaps her shader settings require different treating?
