Hi there
Here's a terragen file for an animated sequence with the camera rising out of some bamboo at dawn.
Looks good when comped in Nuke with a little colour correct, FG mist and a lens flare.
However, there is noticeable flicker on the treeline and in the clouds, which spoils the shot.
There is a low sun which I have read elsewhere can cause problems.
I have followed the advice for GI caching given online, trying both all the frames GI cached and interpolated at the default 5 frames as well as
every tenth frame cached and rendered out with a 2 frame blend. Neither make much difference to the flicker.
I have shadow maps on the three types of clouds and fairly high quality settings all round.
If anyone who has worked around this problem could have a quick look over the file to see any obvious way to reduce flicker I would be grateful.
I love the look of the stills in terragen, but have had problems with animated flicker and would love to find a workable solution.
Cheers Hugh
