So hi....

I am renderring a final project in mental ray and the frames, overall, render but I get inconsistent little black squares where there should be color. This only started once the hair was in. Anyone know what's causing this?

Without knowing your render settings I would check (in the MR render globals) the min/max AA samples, making sure they are production level and also adjusting the contrast threshold if need be. Try Sample lock also.

Ouch! That hurts because it is true.

Feeling humbled,

:D

If you don't want to raise filtering settings you can render two frames with slightly different camera positions and removing the black boxes during postwork.

Works for me good for animations w/o having to increase filtering.
