quick urgent question...

[nlo]

animated lights & moving objects, do not want flickering -> only solution is direct computation, isn't it?

thanx

IRmap calc. for each frame I believe.

Yea you either have to use Direct Comp or calc a new IRmap for each frame.

use lightdomes without GI.

thanks you guys...

i tried to use an irr map for every frame, but i got heavy flickering and
the light distribution was not so nice... did not really play around too long though

well, did not try the dome -> that reminds too much of the old days

i managed to get an average of 4 minutes per frame with direct computation, 15 samples, and fixed AA set to 4 and no secondary bounces
(image had more grain and took a bit longer)...

it's was for a very quick job but compared to my standard irr map setting without:

any flickering,
precise light only by self illuminated cubes,
no "light artifacts",
a bit of a grain, but i got used to that
and about double render time...

hope the 900 frames are finished tomorrow morning
