Finally i' m back home, after a long wait in a big traffic jam. As i wanted to be sure the scene i sent you Mihai were buggy and got a lot of back dots, I opened it and launch the render from my home computer...but nothing, no black dots at all with this computer. ??? I'm lost. No idea what 's going on. I think the best solution is to reinstall maxwell in my office computer and see if i still get those dots. I will do this on Monday as i' m not in office for 3 days.

If that makes you feel better, I get the black dots too with your scene.

Turning of multilight changes things somehow but doesn't fix it.

Wow! Surprisingly I got it to render ok after updating umbrella material preview with RS1 but cannot reproduce it after reloading the scene. Quite strange. :?

Tried your scene here with no apparent problems...I'm running Vista x86 on a Q6700.

I've got a scene created in 1.6.8. that rendered fine, but with 1.7 I'm getting lots of black dots.

I'd be happy to share it.

I've been away for a few days -- has the black dot issue been addressed with the recent update?

Thanks

Sorry Tom but i can't test this scene anymore with the same computer. My company bought me a new one which render this scene just fine.
But i still get some black dots when I use the Simball scene to render some SSS material with 1.7.1

Thanks for the scene and material. I confirm this problem persists. We've fixed it with the previoulsy submitted scene but it seems quite random and rarely appearing.
