      Hi Everyone,

      Please help, I have a problem with displacement renders.

      I'd like to render a standing seam metal wall panel with a displacement map. I've tried many different images for disp. map and different render settings but those strange spots and noisy lines were always there.

      Sometimes the noisy area disappears when I change the viewpoint, but in most cases only the "position" of the noise changes.

      How can I get rid of those spots and lines?

      Thanks a lot!

      Attila

        I think higher rendering settings would do the trick. What setup do you have? Irradiance Map + Lightcache?

          Yes, irradiance + light cache. I tried to change subdivs, samples but that noise is still there...

          This is my displacement map:

          I've tried different images and different image sizes with the same result...

            Can you post the sample file? Easier to investigate by looking at the actual model.

                Ah - should have picked up on this earlier.
                try decreasing Edge Length under Displacement. By default the displacement is view based.

                  Ok, so here is my correction for the first post:
                  I've tried many different render settings, except this one... πŸ˜„

                  Edge length 1px solved the problem.

                  Thank you thomthom!!
