Hi!

Does anyone have any suggestions that will help eliminate cloud flicker?  Attached is a zip file with a small .mov file and .tgd project.

Thanks in advance!

I recall I have read that setting the GI blur radius to values like 100-300 shall eliminate the flicker.

could work although the best way may be to turn the acceleration cache off in your quality settings for your cloud layers.

I believe that increasing GI blur radius is a good way to go.  From my experience, the more complicated the clouds, the higher the radius must be.

Turning off the acceleration cache won't help in cases of "flicker", though it does fix rendering artifacts if those are present. The flickering is generally due to GI as others have said. Values of GI Blur between 100 and 300 should help. If you still have flickering then you'll have to work on a lighting setup that doesn't use GI.
