Grainy Ground Plane

[Dar_T]

Hi. When I include a ground plane geometry I always get grainy shadows on my model and shadows. Am I missing a setting?

Hello,

The metal material renders very fast but other materials, like the ground plane material, will take a little longer to bake. If the ground plane is grainy in offline renderings, you may want to increase that material's samples (little arrow beside roughness in the material properties).

Additionally increasing shadow quality would help.
