enter image description here I am new to using blender and I am working on rendering a scene that uses portal lighting, but I am having some render issues and I don't know why. Is there anything I can try to fix this issue?

Denoising didn't seem to make a difference on the picture cloudiness one way or another. Adding more samples helped a lot, but I still have that issue some.enter image description here

Here's a link to my blender file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uNfl7msr-o_v0AR5WSfbMFfdvP_zo2Ly/view?usp=sharing

Thanks everyone, the advice was very helpful! For anyone else having this problem, try the advice below and primarily lower the number of your light sources in the scene.

    $\begingroup$ Looks like denoising or clamping to me $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks for the feedback! Sampling helped some, but it didn't fix the problem. What else could I try? $\endgroup$

Reset to default

first of all, in the archive you've sent i haven't found any portals.. to set them properly you shoud get an area lamp and not a sun one.

like this:example1

second, i recommend you to reduce the light bounces, its better for performance and i think it may help with some of the noise:

example2

the denoiser effect may be too strong, i'd leave it in the default settings, besides 8 radius costs a lot of performance..

A big part of the problem can be because there is too many light sources.. i don't know how you could fix this.. but from what i already said im pretty sure you'll get better results

    $\begingroup$ Thank you. I forgot I changed my portals to sun lights. I thought the portals were the issue at first. Ill definitely try what you suggested. I also change my material properties and that has helped too. $\endgroup$
