Hi, I have some R3D footage that was shot and I started to color correct and I noticed that there was a lot of noise in the blacks(Shadows). I asked around and found out that, that is quite common with R3D footage. So I was wondering is there anything I can do to reduce the noise? The footage was shot at night in a warehouse so it’s already dark. Any help would be great.

Thanks

As stated in the title my rendering doesn’t come out well.

Using Maya 2010 and rendering with MR

On top of my espressomaker it is supposed to be black – plastic, although one part gets much more black than the other, it seems like it doesn’t receive any lights at all.

I’m using the same material, a modified Mia_material_x.
Settings in the two objects is the same.. atleast how far i’ve checked, tried to group them up although that doesn’t change anything.
The MRsettings in the polysurface – shape is the same and there i tried to look if it was the light emitting from an strange angle so i changed it to emit from the top of the two objects. Doesn’t matter either.

I’m really stuck here after hours of changing and testing.. Anyone got some ideas what went wrong?

If there are some info missing please feel free to tell.

Best regards
