Title: Flickering Fractals
Post by: ethan on March 03, 2011, 12:56:43 PM
Getting some weird flickering in ground fractals - the defualt ones that live in the Height Shader node. Its like parts of the fractal are changing as the camera gets closer. I imagine this is a optimization trick based on camera distance? Is there anyway to freeze a fractal or set the distance further away from camera so we cant see the little pops?

Thanks TG community

It would help if you could give your rendering settings and perhaps a screenshot of the problem. This is likely a GI problem and is most dependant on your rendering settings. There are a lot of posts about this specific subject if you do a search on the forum.

I agree. Ethan, could you give us a link to a movie so we can help you out with some settings.

Knowing detail level of the render in question would help a lot too. Optimization at lower detail levels is quite heavy.
