Random white patch on render

[cyberpunch]

I tried removing lights, disabling caustics and it still appearing.

The mateiral I am trying to use is Glass (physics_phen)

I have attached a screenshot below

(Right click, View Image to see the grainy/distoration effect better)

This is what it looks like after the light is deleted

Anyone? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Away from workstation at the moment.

Try turning up the number of internal reflections and refractions.

Is it possible to use an Arch & Design material?

I have to use this specific glass physical material. Where is the internal refractions/reflections located? I played with all sorts of settings in the render output quality in addition to what's available to edit under the physical glass material.

This blotch is very annoying and I believe I reproduced some reminiscents of it in another reflective but none physical glass material. How do I get rid of it? 3Ds Max was just installed recently.

I maxxed out the render settings in the options under the render window below, zoomed out, and you can still see white patch clearly. It doesn't make sense.

Can you be more specific about the 'white patch' you're talking about?  Is it the grainy look in the reflection/refraction?  Or is there something else about it that you are seeing?

Why not zip up the file and post it here so one of us can take a look.

The grainy white blob over most of the heart that blocks any reflections

For me, "The grainy white blob over most of the heart that blocks any reflections" that you are seeing is just the normal refraction of light (in this case, the IOR) from the grey ground plane.

Try changing the Index Of Refraction (IOR) value in the settins of the material you are using, and you should see your 'blob' transform shape. I do not have vRay here, so you'll have to find the setting yourself.
