Dust in my camera?

So I have been working on a series of renders... Up till now, they are all quite acceptable to me for the project I had in mind.. But then I come to this one and it's got these little white dots all over it?  I had changed NOTHING from the previous renders, and after seeing this thought perhaps a virtual camera had gone glitchy, so I deleted it and put in a new one and this is what I got (I've been rendering at much higher resolutions so this is a 'low res' sample or whatever you want call it).  Any ideas what's going on all of a sudden?  Before you ask, yes I've tried playing iwth the tone mapping and darker or lighter I still get the little white spots...  Can anyone help as this is kind of a large project and I'd really hate to have to kill it because something like this keeps me from getting clear images.

  • By way of comparrison.. Just to help out a bit.. here is an earlier render from the same series.  yes, it's a bit darker but the next shot (the one posted above) is the one that I started trying to fix and yes, lowered the tone mapping.

    That's just noise from an unfinished render. There was an update to studio a few months back that changed the way it handled when renders finished, but I can't remember exactly how. All I remember is that I had to increase the settings I was using in order for the render to actually finish. The old settings I was using no longer worked. You can increase the number of samples, the render time, and render quality/converged ratio so that it renders longer and fully finishes.

    Did you leave the Headlamp on in the camera? If you increased the lights then that can make a difference to how long the render needs to run before those fireflies disappear.
