black splotches in animation

[themaxxer]

hi all

I need help with an animation...
I have simulated smoke and put it in a object that simulates water (for refraction), while rendering I get black spots in the smoke, it's random, and I can't reproduce it on a certain frame. if I render the frame on a other machine it's fine...

thanks in advance.

best regards

Yup, we have several reports of this and still I don't have a scene that can help me debug it and fix it. If you could attach this scene, it would be very helpful!

ok, can I send an e-mail? I don't want to make it public.

thanks

Absolutely - as long as it's not over 5-10 megs - I'm not sure what's the limit on our server.

Thanks very much!
