Keep your test renders on low settings with very small resolution. Balance your exposure with just environment GI, then add one light at a time and balance each one. As you set up your scene, take it one step at a time. I generally switch to Irradiance map for primary GI, I prefer speed over 'physically correct'. They are very well made (i would watch all, not just the interior one.) Don't be afraid to reset to default settings any time your render time or noise gets away from you.you should be able to set the settings in under a minute anyway. Unfortunately its Friday and don't have any more time.weekend deadlines are here!!!! But if you follow all the principles in Chaos Group's quick start tutorials, you should be on track. I reset Vray settings to default, spent two minutes balancing the lights and rendered the 1920x1080 image below in 8 minutes. The settings were a mess.everything is out of balance between different lights and global illumination and depth of field was on(turn that off for sure until you're a vray guru.)

Yes, definitely recommend watching all the quick start tutorials and come back if you can't get things figured out after that. Try resetting all vray settings to default and try a render on medium settings on CPU with Interactive OFF, and Progressive OFF, also switch from brute force to irradiance map (you'll need to up the irradiance map subdivs for final rendering, but default will do while trouble shooting problem). Also, progressive mode is a no-no for final renders.should be used for tests & set up, then set to bucket rendering for finals. In fact, I would just turn of any emissive materials while trouble shooting the problem. Make sure there are not any emmisive materials lighting the scene.

I'd recommend posting your vray render settings with all sections expanded so we can quickly see if anything obvious is standing out.Ĩhrs for a 800圆00.definitely something wrong there. The two rectangular areas with less noise make me think that maybe they were using render region and just had a portion rendering instead of the whole image.though the regions are still pretty noise for 8hrs.

There are 100's of possibilities of what they're doing wrong here. Yes, to get help you'll need to attach the file, or at the very least, attach screen shots of all setting used (render settings, but lights as well).
