Vred live raytraced material looks different to the output image

On-screen live raytrace screenshotOutput image after a 5-minute renderRender settingsI'm having an issue in that the image I capture in Vred looks great on-screen when live raytraced, however when I output the image on say a 5-minute render, the material on this image looks completely different to what's on screen when in live ray trace mode? The 'brushing' is much more coarse on the output image and I've lost some of the colour. Am I doing something wrong? I've also attached my render settings.

The issue is caused by the different resolutions you render. If the bump is too heavy VRED will apply mipmapping techniques to reduce aliasing and moire effects. This is why at your lower resolution screen the bump looks smoother than with the large resolution. 

It is always a good idea to get closer to your objects for setting the bump intensities if you don´t work on a high resolution screen.

Kind regards
