Do I need to recalculate Animation?

[baw]

After calculating the LC and Irr map for an animation I noticed I had a lot of noise realted to the subdivision settings on my area lights. If I change those settings do I need to recalculate the LC and Irr map for the animation again? Changing it and using the old LC and Irr map seems to look ok but I wasnt sure if I would run into any issues.

thanks.

I could be wrong.. but I dont think so... Thats the reason you run the prepass... It uses those settings to create the sampling... You might be able to get a ways with using incremental add.. increasing the settings.. I would think it uses the existing samples and adds the additional samples needed with the higher settings....

If the GI itself is smooth enough, there is no need to recalculate it.
