I have no problem with the noise now, but still there are lot of things I need to tune.

RickToxik,
That really worked,I went further and reduced the gamma down to 0.5. I balanced the hdr texture power as well and it looks a lot better now.Thanks for the tip.
I really appreciate your help.

Amazing...but that really worked,I went further and reduced the gamma down to 0.5. I balanced the hdr texture power as well and it looks a lot better now. I will post the new images next week because my graphical tablet suddenly gave up working properly.Thanks for the tip again, RickToxik.

Does anyone have problem with noise when rendering scene using HDR image in Maya 2013?Did you come up with solution?

Any new updates or patches in near time?

Thanks

Hi FooZe,
Thanks for your reply,
Initially, I didn't add the floor in Maya mainly because my focus was on reducing noise that were reflecting from the car.However,later on, I spent little time,added the floor and experimented with its properties(opacity,specularity etc) in Octane Standalone only ...

Thanks a lot for the explanation.
