fingerprint error

[pg1]

I am doing a series of animation at 720x576 using a pre-calculated irmap
medium animation 50 hsph and 20 interp. samples
and qmc with 8 subdivs and 6 secondary bounces.
Adaptive qmc for antialiasing at default
The noise threshold is 0.006 with the rest of the rqmc settings at default.

I am getting a error on random frames that looks like a fingerprint smudge on the camera lens.

I've looked through the backburner monitor to see if it was one specific render node causing the problem and its not isolated to one particular node.

Any sub frame animation on that house?

Hey rerender

Not entirely sure what you mean by sub frame animation but there no keyframes on any objects in the scene only on the camera.

Ene.xis I cant seem to post an image directly on this thread page but if you copy the url into a new internet explorer/firefox window without the [img] and [/img] you should see it.

yeahhh....but u have to login...
u can use photobucket.com or something like that to upload ur image

Thanks for getting back to me

finally pinned it down x-dof (a post render plug-in) was the culprit

switched it off and haapppppy days looks like I might actually get to go home tonight
