Hi guys,

I'm doing this kitchen but some how i get all of these white spots in the middle of the image ( around the cooker hood) The scene is lit up by two emitter planes on both sides of the apartment. The materials that I use are brushed stainless steel and some other glossy materials. So if you can help me please do

Jonathan

try not to use roughness = 0
this dots are caustics , so try roughness >2

One of those some other glossy materials surely has additive layer(s) over a bright base layer exceeding energy limits. The cooker hood material seems highly suspicious in this case.

Thanks guys, i will give it a shot i'll let you know

i wonder, if it is possible to somehow quantify those "energy limits".
and if one could use this to build some kind of bumper/stopper into the material editor.
a mechanism, that would - while creating a material - recognize a kombination of values as energy limits exceeding and so not allow to increase certain values, or at least give some kind of warning. something like the garmut warning in editors.
energetically proofed material creation... spoken like a true noob

Sure. Although, the stacked system brought it to a higher level in terms of complexity. We're working on solutions.

i was hoping for an answer like that
