I have just rendered an animation with moving objects but the result has come out with alot of flickering and patchy anomalies. I used Irradiance Map with Animation prepass but, these were rendered over a network to our render farm. Do you think that this might have caused the flickering and anoma…

It will not work well for animations; would be best to turn it off in that case. Best regards, Vlado

Thanks for clearing that one up Vlado. Would have saved a bunch of money on the render though. Darn it.

Did a search and found this thread so I thought I would continue it as Im having the same problem with flickering using this method. The problem is shown here: http://www.vimeo.com/8396964 Should I still be using the same method as outlined by Vlado earlier on in the thread ? Can I pre-calc the …

Hey Steve, I think it’s mainly related to the LightCache. Still no flicker-free solution for animated camera+objects even with “Use camera path” option. You may want to take a look here: http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=47987 EDIT: Yep, you need single frame LCache for…

Hopefully. Problem is LCache casts no time-independent rays, no regular distribution when objects move… Here’s a practical tutorial but it’s incomplete; no results… :roll: [image] Chaos: Industry-leading design and visualization software Chaos develops visualization technologies that …

Ok. Im just about to test the method outlined above. I will be turning off “store direct light” for the animation prepass. Point 1.6.4 is incorrect and should be animation (prepass). Im also using 4 other render nodes(DR) to calc the prepass. Will share the results as soon as I get some.

Firstly, each pre-animation frame is pass is taking 1.5 hours. I have 358 frames to do. 1.5 hours x 358 = 537 hours. 537 hours/4 (render nodes) = 134 hours. 134 hours / 24 = 5.5 days roughly…just for prepass. Slightly on the high side I think ! Is there is no quick/high quality solution when using t…

It will be either quick, or high-quality, I’m afraid. Since you have to calculate one irradiance map per frame, you can’t afford to use very high settings for it - you will have to play with those until you get acceptable render times. Best regards, Vlado
