We have plenty of straight lines in the scene, both in terms of materials and on the geometry itself. These of course can be the bane of pixel-based graphic applications. We have both glossy and blurred reflections on the materials as well as noisy surface patterns and flat, solid colors. We're making use of the V-Ray dome light in the scene using the default shadow "Subdiv" setting of eight, which can of course throw a lot of shadow noise into an environment, with the potential for noise having been heightened by…
