Hi!
I've noticed quite a few people use Siger's Complex Fresnel in their work but I keep having problems with it :/
My current problem is that the rendered image with abundant use of the plugin causes an excessive amount of fireflies all over the scene!
Here's the image without any denoising after 17 hours of rendering on an i7-5960X!

Fireflies all over the place...
If I disable the complex fresnel map and do thins manually (set the IOR back from 999 to 25 instead of using the map as intended) - the problem goes away completely. Comparison image HERE:
http://www.clikcreations.co.uk/corona/cf/Bathroom_noCF.jpgJust quick patch renders here and there, not long at all, while the fireflies caused by the plugin don't go away pretty much at all...
I used to have black pixels all over my metals some time ago, but I traced it back to the plugin f-king up after a Corona update. So I updated the plugin and for some reason it worked out fine.
Now I'm running Corona 1.5.2 and the plugin version 1.0.6 (I'd expect most people to use that instead of 1.0.7 that is now available because it only came out a few days ago to support MAX 2018, as it says in the changelog). Does anyone else have this problem or is it something I did wrong? Should I just give up on the plugin altogether?
Thanks!
