Hey everyone so today I have been trying out the Uber Area Lighting for the first time and it is creating some weird looking freckles on the skin for me. Any idea what the problem could be here? I am using a plane as the light source. See the picture below.

    probably one of two things or both Area light Samples too low and/or render settings shading rate too high.

    Thanks I will look into that. I was trying to use the lights according to your tutorial and it was very helpful so thank u for posting it : ) So the biggest disadvantage to these lights is that there is no preview for them and they only appear in the final render right? Or is there?

    my pleasure and yes you are correct with the nature of not being like other lights there is no light preview as such.
