Bad mesh and how to know ?

[Magnum_design]

I am making a kitchen animation and have been having problems with a flickering flat surface. It looks good in stills. Its a mesh converted from solidworks/step to edible mesh.

i tried everything i could imagine, byt in the end I changed the mesh to my own made, and everything was working perfekt. Is there a way to check this out before you start rendering sequences?

xView is helpful. overlapping faces, face orientation etc. check smoothing groups, unwelded verts.

Thanks, will try that

you can try increasing the secondary ray bias a little. Default is 0,0. Try 0.001. Increasing the value slightly works well for coplaner faces

Your normals pass will give it away too - you'll often spot triangles on a flat surface that are a different colour from things around them which is a giveaway.

Maybe run the Forensic script by Sini. I run it on every project and it always reveals something.
