It feels like I've tried everything and watched every Youtube video on the subject. Any ideas why I'm getting such low quality path tracer renderings, even with the highest settings enabled? I have RTX 3070 and 64 Gb RAM.
Ok, I may have just answered my own question. I have been attempting to render an entirely interior scene- ie no windows. So I modeled a black box around my scene in Rhino, thinking that I needed to ensure no environmental light seeped in. Turns out that even though my rendering scene is totally enclosed in geometry, I still need to turn on an HDRI skydome to get clarity.
In case anyone has any other tips for a new TM user, I'd appreciate any general rules of thumbs, or preferred settings for interior renders.
Thank you.
