Uber Environment 2 Rendering problem with "Sheer Greatness"

nakamuram002

Help!! I am getting a blotchy result when I render Genesis w/Sheer Greatness using Uber Environment 2 in "Indirect Lighting w/Directional Shadows" mode. Quality is 3XHI. Setting it higher does not make a difference. What am I doing wrong?

I think that's down to the Bias setting, which controls how close the render places shadows to items - in this case it's sometimes less than the separation between the stockings and the skin, so you get no shadowing, while in others it isn't, and you do get shadowing. You can lower, or raise though that may have other problems, the Bias setting on the light or you can turn shadow casting off for the stocking or, if they use uberSurface, you can go into the Surfaces pane, select the surfaces of the stocking and turn off Occlusion near the bottom of the list of settings in the Edit tab.
