Aliasing Highlights?

[LFedit]

Could anyone help me out with this? Thought maybe it was a bump map but its not. Plenty of geometry too. It only happens when the light is this bright, but I want it that bright. 1920x1080 too I feel like that shouldn't be happening.

Thanks!

Are you rendering 8 bits? You may be pushing too much illumination variation through too narrow a range, resulting in level clipping around the edges of your highlights. Try rendering to a higher bit depth, then tweaking your curves to keep the definition in the areas you need it.

Also check the Filter value in Kernel settings, and try with 1.4.

You can also try the "Post processing" settings in the Octane Camera tag.
