Title: stabilze ray detail in motion
Post by: digitalguru on June 12, 2018, 05:50:23 PM
Hi folks,

what does "stabilze ray detail in motion" do?

I had some little black artefacts from raytraced soft shadows and a little trawling around found this parameter and turned it on - cleans up them up nicely.

Don't know what this param is for though, or why it's off by default?

ray detail in motion - off
[attachimg=1]

ray detail in motion - on
[attachimg=2]

Is this feature in the free version? Would be nice cause I can't do sand dunes and sand ripples without them being plagued by those polygony/triangly artifacts. I don't use soft shadows though, and still get them.

This is Terragen 4 Pro,

The param is in Render\ Advanced Tab\Subdiv settings

Hopefully, it's in the free version too.

I'm just waiting for someone to say it doesn't work in animations :)
