Halo Artifacts on Chess Pieces

[jtemple]

Good morning! I’m working through the Blender course and am on the chessboard section. I’ve just done the roughness and lighting sections and noticed my white pieces have these weird halos around them in both the view mode and in the eeveee render. Any idea what’s causing these and what approaches I can take to solve them?

Thanks!

Can you add a cycles render. That would define if it is an evee issue. It will give the next person more clues. I am not too good on evee issues.

Can be camera blur … ? Or bloom ?

I seem to recall this same thing happening to somebody else’s chess set, but I don’t remember who.

edit: Found it. Doesn’t say if he ever resolved it though.

Chess Scene Roughness

[Chess_reflections_setupM] I liked the more reflective look on the black squares and pieces and decided to go in the same direction with the white pieces, however getting the reflection with white was a bit harder to achieve so i ended out giving it a slightly metallic look also. how’s she look?

I think it’s more how Eevee works with reflections.
Could be an option, to add more memory (detail) of the reflection. But at a cost of render time.

Hi,

Thickness value in the screen space reflection settings is likely the issue.
Play with the value there and also check with the distance and bias in the lighting contact shadows as well.
I am pretty sure its the thickness but may be one of the others as well

Hope it helps

I was having this exact same problem. Changing the thickness in the Screen Space Reflection to a small value fixed the issue for me. Thanks!
