When I try to use a different hdr than the one in the course I get Tons of noise and speckles on the piano using the icosphere as the ‘room’. Has anyone else had this issue? I can post a screen shot in a little bit after my sequence renders if needed.
Thank you! I will look for a similar HDr with the same coozy lighting.
The fireflies(speckles) can be reduced by changing light clamping. Usually the indirect light which defaults to 10. I will usually set it to 5. Note: this can and often does make the render darker. In very rare cases, you may need to set the direct. I usually start at 10 and go down from there. Default is 0 or no clamping. Many people start at 5 and go up or down from there.
I will try this first. This HDR https://polyhaven.com/a/warm_restaurant_night looks super phenomenal on those piano keys!!
