What map is applied in the reflectivity/glossiness slots? If it's 350 passes then I would guess it's not caused by bad antialiasing and it doesn't look like noisy GI. It looks like a bump map or some other kind of texture so I bet it's your reflectivity map. Maybe it's not mapped properly?

Juraj: How do I turn on adaptivity to get rid of that noise? Is it something already implemented on A5?

Maru: I took that map off, it was a sort of PNG dirt map. I left the walls white and add some reflection, the white color is RGB 180, as a proper albedo. The thing is that even now without the maps in the reflection slot, it still takes ages to clean that area and it's never as clean as the rest of the walls or the overal render.  You will see that clearly on the next render I'm about to post. I left it rendering overnight, it was 3393 passes for 8:30 hours and although now the noise is quite better, there's still diferences between the other areas that are very smooth and noise free.

Here's the render with curtains. I felt the other renders were cool but the sun was to hard, a friend pointed that someone working on that computer would have a terrible time and it's true indeed. I could lower the sun intensity as well, but Im calling it done for this day light scene, going to start on the night version of it.

Thanks to Rawalanche for the curtain material http://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=231.0

I'm starting to light my scene for the night time.  I have a few questions:

1 - I used vray HDRI map to add that ilumination into the scene( used moon lit HDRI). I put the vray HDRI into the enviroment slot and that was it, did I do it correctly?

2- I read in the forums that there are a corona background material, would that be used to change the background? I want to lit my scene with an HDRI map, but I want to
put a diferent image in the background, to show on the window( and in that way have the glass in the picture frame reflect that)

3 - It's my first time using IES lights, I've added them using corona lights as you can see but I have this horrible circular glow on the ceiling, any tips to reduce or get rid of that circular glow?

[bdazo]

I think I found the asnwer for my question 3. The lights where upside down, pointing the light to the ceiling, resulting in that hard light being cast there.

Try stuff for TV albedo put 0.8 instead of 1, and diffus 255 and 240 do not, you have a very bright shining sun on all tests. Bump try not to give up 1.

[bdazo]

Snikon: what do you mean with tv?  I think i understood the rest.

[Snikon]

I talked about the panel for tv
Try all of the objects in which the white color instead of level 1 set 0.8 and do not ask 255 and put about 240, wrote above.

[bdazo]

Ok snikon, got it. thanks.

That's no Tv though, it's a computer/display thing ;), but I got what you were saying.

[romullus]

Lcd panel emits light, so you shouldn't worry about albedo at all :]

[Snikon]

I apologize for my English. I talked about the wall behind the TV
good luck !!!

[bdazo]

No problem snikon
