These are the latest versions of the lightsaber i'm working on. I'm rendering in final gather and for some reason am getting those weird shadow blotches on the floor. I have final gather set to 500 instead of 300 with a min radius of 0.3 and a max radius of 8, the floor itself is basically a normal blinn, with a little less reflectivity a high eccentricity with a high specular roll off and low specular color. The scene is HDRI lit so there are no lights in there other than one set at 0 intensity to stop the default lights So if someone could help me do away with those shadows it would be helpful. Also I'd like to smooth out the lightsaber because as you can see the round parts of the emitter and such are kind of jaggedy, however i like the middle peices (black peices) the way they are, so is there a way to smooth just peices of it and not the whole thing? C&C also welcome
