funny texture issue in IRAY render with HDR light source.

jdavison67

I'm seeing a bit of the character topology through the lighting shadows.

I usually fix these things by adding a smooth modifier to my character at the default setting, but in this case it isn't going away.

Any ideas?

This is a Victoria 4 character with the beautiful bends add-on.

These two posts help to explain what it is and how to combat it...

Thanks!

To be honest, in the 2 years I've been playing in DAZ, I have never converted a model to Sub-D.

Surprised I never toyed with it until now.

Thanks again!

Much better with Sub-D level increased +1.

Usually for high quality closeups, I default to subd3.
