Hi
First AO bakes with mentalray. I am very impressed with the quality. Only I have grain stripes and splotches over the bake. I thought this was the element settings so I put them up to 100 samples and increased MR's sampling to 4/16. Took a while but you can see the result below with the local dirty bits. There are loads of settings but maybe someone has had this also and has a tip.

This is a bake from the high poly to the lo cage of a character. I did a quicky bake from the normal map to the cage and that was as clean as a whistle,... buuuut much lower quality. I couldn't find others with this problem, that means I am doing something uniquely wrong and it's going to be hard to find the setting.


Thanks in advance.

Try to separate your model's elements (according to UVs),i mean move them away from each other,and try to bake it.
