After upgrading to Leopard I get red dots (fireflies) in my glass renderings AGAIN. Thought this problem was solved long ago.
Please help, my deadline is Monday.
Maxwell 1.5.1.0, Mac OSX 10.5, G5 8 core Intel

It is not a problem with Leopard, just the emitter material in the scene was not correct, it has the same behaviour in Tiger.

The scene was exported with mm as units instead of metres (from Concepts Unlimited – check it out at
www.punchcad.com).
Apparently the issue is caused by "out of acceptable range" values. An interesting explanation but an easy mistake to make. Hopefully it can be prevented in future software upgrades.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi claus,
Yes, it will be prevented for the next software update.
