Yeah its random . Annoying. If I add new elements its fine it just seems to not update the old ones.

Switched to photometrics on the direct lights. All good now and so much faster. Much thanks! saved my weekend efforts.

Thanks for the response.

can you explain the second option a bit more. so put a light blocker around the light like a cone or over the whole scene?

This render is with all the directions of the lights set to zero. It takes 30 passes and about 7 mins and is pretty clear noise wise.

Hi I am still having issues with this. I have  been using the default settings and the images below are after 120 passes. Most of the noise seems to be in the GI.

same issue with the default setting. I added the render elements and it seems all the noise is in the GI should I increase samples?

Ok I will try with the default and see what happens. I think maybe its do it my materials because when I use default material it dosent seem to be an issue.

Hi
 I am having an issue when using direct lights. When setting corona lights to direction of .5 and above i seems to get noise that takes longer to clear  . It happens to me regularly and I am wondering if I am missing something.

Currently I am using 30 GI and 12 Light samples and 20 passes it takes 13 mins and it still not clear, Its for an animation so I am trying to keep the times under 15.


Thanks

Using single bounce and the default settings have helped a lot.  Thanks for the tips.

 I have sent it to be checked on another machine I am pretty sure that this is the main cause as the machine is old. but in general I have been getting good results with this machine thats why I was trying to see if I can make it a bit better

Hi
thanks for looking into this.

I have reverted back to the default and now it takes 10-15 mins to do one pass, If i could improve that it would be great. As I will probably send this to a farm to render.

With a standard material its much faster but it does take a while to clear the noise, and I noticed this even when I have a simple geo around it like a cylinder. Is there an issue being in a small enclosed space.


I will try a translucent material as well.

Its a blood vessel, theres two openings but its made out of cells so there are small gaps between the cells. The image should help.

Its a standard corona material with those settings I am trying to do a SSS material I saw similar setups in the help doc. with the default setting its takes 10-15 minutes do to a single pass thats what i was trying to improve.
