Rendered Image Is Poor Quality

Symptom: The rendered image has one or more of the following issues:

• It contains artifacts (small inaccuracies or imperfections in the rendered image).
• In some places, light reflecting on surfaces looks splotchy or speckled.
• Edges of model elements and their shadows are not crisp. Instead, the edges are soft and fuzzy.

Issue: These issues may be caused by inappropriate render quality settings, or the use of default settings.

Solution: Try adjusting the render quality settings to obtain the desired result. See Render Quality Settings and Rendering Best Practices.
