Tnx pal, Partial :bow: for you because
Scene description:
Reads, thinks "been there, done that"
in anger he checks off autofocus is off and focus is at 300, ups the dmap to 2048 with filter 20... dmap bias 0.2 and fog samples 80
hits render...
waits 15 min...
sees it...
Yells out loud "mecagonlaputa"
Its still grainy... hey but at least the box itself took a glowing effect..

Double checks f1 help... doesnt finds nothing useful...
yields again...

then sees volume sphere node, realizes, tries upping volume samples to 30, its hideously all white, downs fog intensity it works... (its still pretty crappy but it has stopped to be grainy)


So, whats the lesson to be extracted from this?
dont mess with tiny slits and lightfogs... the tinyer the slit the messyer to control it becomes... and the insanely higher you have to setup the quality... better to do it in postproduction...

lol what about a contest to see who can make the coolest effect with lightfog and tiny slits?

Fear? only to taxes and death...
Rage? from the dark side it is... but is more useful than selfpity
