I got a black line when i rendered a pool.[/img]

Looks like a Normal/-smoothing problem

try to make your volume a bit bigger than needed. It should intersect a bit with the pool walls. Also avoid sharp angles.

That has been done, even setting up the precedence.
Yeah, the water was "Sprite"

I got the value of SSS from pdf indigo tutorial.

precedence shouldn't matter with diffuse materials - only speculars have a precedence value...

Just a thought, I guess it's *not* the problem but anyway:
Did you lower the MNCR to below 1000? I think, there are issues with very low MNCR and BiDir... Same with extremely low raybouncedepth.....

Btw: Your caustics are quite blurry and the reflections show a rather big lightsource... Try to make it a lot smaller if you want sharper caustics

Can you post the .blend ahmadun? Sorry to ask you again, but i'm not sure what's causing that..

It should intersect a bit

Actually if the vater wolume is entirely smoothed you need to put the outermost faces into the wall; if they are partially only the smoothing will show. Theorically you need 2 full rows hidden to get rid of the artifact, if that's the cause of it.

Thanks ahmadun.
I've run into this bug before.
I'm not sure what causes it.
