I'm getting "blotchy" renders. This one has one light source. If you need more details of current settings (pretty much default) I can provide them. Can someone give me a hint on why it's blotchy?
Thanks
Phil

Chances are you need to turn up the settings for the indirect lighting in the render room. There are several switches that you can flip to change the results but I would start by setting the quality higher than the default and also decreasing the pixel accuracy. You will have to pay for it in render time but you can get the results to be a lot better than what you have here. You can find the settings I'm describing when you click on the icon at the top which takes you to the room where you render the final images (icon all the way to the right up where the wrench, film strip, paint brush etc are). There will be a tray (panel) on the right which will have the render settings in it. -Kix

You know what, with this one, I'm with GWeb. The only thing I read the manual for is power tools because I can lose a body part. Everything else is fun exploration!

Besides the manual being 5000 pages long (or abouts). I think I managed to get up to page 500 hundred and something and lost steam:)
I never intended to make art.

I agree, really. I'm a leap-in-and-push-buttons guy myself. It's just I read Phil's post as though he couldn't be bothered to find out. Those buttons aren't that hard to find.

LOL...sorry to say...I like to push buttons(if I know it's safe), but I am a definite manual reader. One this big I mostly just skip around for what I want.
No need to think outside the box....
Just make it
invisible.
