bright pixels

haplo2013

have just rendered a simple dark scene, two characters in a dark room, the only light is a candle held by the female character, when rendered there are bright pixels in the scene sometimes less, sometimes more, never in the same place, what am i doing wrong, please help

Usually that's noise, but it's odd in that case that they are in many cases on the areas receiving the most direct light. You could always take two renders, put one n top of the other in your image editor, and set the boend mode to darken - if theya r randomly distributed that should (mosrly) elimiate them. You could also try letting it render for longer/set the convergence threshold higher, or use the new denoiser in the 4.11 public beta (as long as you are rendering with the GPU).

Did you have your firefly filter on? If not that would be my first try

thanks for your comments, had a play with the filters, no bright pixels
