And from my experience I would sag that 150 samples is usually not enough to get a clean render, even without caustics. For the final render I would rather go up to 1000 to 2000 samples. | |

| Dec 1, 2014 at 22:55 | comment | added | ruckus | Yeah I don't know what the deal is, I put sampling up to 150, disabled everything, used integrator presets, pumped filter glassy as high as i could, but nothing helped. Also I can't upload pasteall is dead. Sorry folks, i'll accept anywho. | |

You can find the sampling settings in the Sampling tab (usually 2nd tab above Light Paths). If you are using normal Path Tracing you can set the samples for the 3D viewport preview and the final render, if you are using Branched Path Tracing the options become a lot more dificult.

When I tested it disabling reflective caustitcs reduced the noise created by rough glossy surfaces effectively. You can also try to increase the Filter Glossy value beneath the checkboxes. Otherwise I think you can only increase the number of samples.
