Re: Black Artifacts when using Final Gather Map

3) render through backburner
4) Play with the BSP settings
5) Use mrProxies (maxdesign2009 only)
6) optimise your FG/ Photon settings to be more efficient. Often the presets can be too high, start at Draft then Low, medium and High can be killers

In addition to what Justin Hunt said:
- Upgrade to a quadcore processor, increase ram capacity and upgrade to a 64 bit version of 3DS Max.
- Make a habit to reboot your computer before doing a new render.
- Close all other application/programs running in the background ( anti-virus, internet, etc.)
- Turn off the rendered frame window ( a.k.a. the frame buffer )
- In sampling quality/samples per pixel: use smaller bucket size. In filter: start with box for test renders and mitchell for final renders.
Do a netrender
