GI Nightmare

[jacksc02]

I have been going round and round circles with this current project.
I have an interior animation with an animated sun position, animated camera and flcikering lights!
I have been trying various GI setups but nothing is giving me the clean result I need.

If anyone has any suggestions I would be more than happy to try them.

I cant post the scene though as it has a tight NDA. I might be able to do a stripped out version if needed.

animated sun = problems. Flickering lights = problems!
if you want to pm me the scene (stripped or not) I will look at it. If not...there is a couple of things you could try. Have you tried irradience map for animations? the latest vray should have it pretty good. One of the things with animated lights is that you cannot really bake them as you would regular static lights. It is a trade off on quality vs quantity, where if you have a long animation you cannot have each light cast pretty gi bounce and so on.

Thanks Dmitry, I may have cracked it finally!
I might send it over later for you to check out.

Has anyone done anything similar?

well with animated sun and flickering lights I don't see any other way but to use brute force for both passes or maybe try BF/LC
