Hi!
I was hoping to get some clarity in this weird phenomena i found in my latest render. I've been making this image for a swedish competition and after rendering for a couple of days a weird light popped up spontaneously, and today after 20-or so hours another one showed up. I've attached two images with the orbs popping up. Anyone have any idea what it is and what i should do to get rid of them? I've got some filter effects turned on as you can see, and after turning them of i might be able to retouch them out.

Also, if anyone is interested, every second of the progress in this image is recorded to my twitch account, I'll make a youtube clip of it later on!


Thanks in advance lads!
Fredrik

These are fireflys.
they show up as pure white dots in the image (turn off post prossesing and you will see them). Because they are pure white, they get affected heavily by bloom and glare.
If you change the value of your hotpixel removal (in the imager tab) to .8 (or lower) this should remove the hot firefly before it goes through post.
