Daz Zazie 8.1 - Rendering Glitch

[Xavster]

I have been doing a couple of trial renders of the New

model from Colm Jackson and have noticed a bit of a rendering glitch when using the tattoo skin.


If you look closely at the above, the dark zone of the tattoo affects the skin texture immediately adjacent to it. The same thing happens when I apply tattoos from a tattoo asset to the base Zazie model as well. Note that I have already checked the base texture and the problem does not reside there. Rendered in Daz 4.20.

Has anyone else noted this glitch and does anyone have a solution for it outside of not using the Zazie textures?

Managed to figure out what this was caused by and how to resolve.

Cause - iRay engine texture compression
Fix - Within render settings go to the advanced tab and increase the values for Medium and High Threshold for Texture Compression.

Note that the problem is not isolated to Zazie and applies in any case where you have an abrupt change of colour in a texture.
