Right. I have been playing around with renders for a while, usually of the same object. But lately Something has gone wrong. I do not remember changing the settings, except the lighting. Even then I'm just clicking presets. Which I have also used before with no problems.
But now, all of a sudden I can't seem to get rid of those bloody black splotches from all over my renders. They just appeared one day. Yes, I know the polygons are casting their own shadows because my Shadow Min Bias is set too low, but I have changed them around to try and fix them, going from between 0.220 - 5, and it shows no difference whatsoever. I try different lights, and it shows no difference. There was one light set I could use for a while which didn't do it, but now it's suddenly started doing it too! Without changing anything! What's going on here!?
