I don't see any artifacts. It looks very clean to me. Unless you are using
normals and media, I would turn them off; it is slowing you down and giving
you nothing (or next to it). I am not sure I understand the max_sample
-1.0; where did you come up with that?

As far as I am concerned it looks quite good. There might be a little
unevenness in the far bottom corner/edge, and to fix that you can either
raise your count, or raise your error_bound. I think your only real problem
is the normal and media settings, which are slowing things WAY down.
