I have some large mountains in the background of this image. They were "transformed" with height map and then saved as geometry.
As you can see the smoothing is non existent bascially. They are all tripled polygons no errors.

If I pull the mountains into a scene by themselves they are much better but still have "some" issues. I think it has something to do with the smoothing Octane computes...since I have small objects with super large....

Anyone help with this issue?

Can be a problem with the ray epsilon parameter in the kernel. Can you check it?

Ah yes....that was it. I had it set to .0001 and when I reduce it to .001 it goes away for the most part. (acceptable).

I'll look at how this affects the kernel in the documentation...I have forgotten. Thanks!
