GI flicker for animation

Hello, sorry to read that...

In fact, it's hard with Vray to get a flicker free anim...
Solidrocks is here to help managing the process, but there is nothing magical, unfortunately...

btw, i'm suprised you get hugly results in Bruteforce+LC...
i've rendered several different anims in this mode, and they worked pretty fine..

Perhaps can you send me the problematic scene to have a look on it and try to improve SR ??
*Of course it'll remain private.

i'm preparing a tuto video with very simple method to separate static and moving things in 2 passes.
static will be rendered in flythrough mode to make it flicker free, then the animated parts are rendered in separated pass, using the vraysphere gizmo.

The tip is the composite in After effects. I've worked hard to find it, but it's ok now !

we can chat around this if you need, with pleasure.

I now have to help you to gain back your money spended on renderfarm

hmmm well "scene too large" is not good..

it happens very rarely, in fact..
perhaps have you an incorrect unit setup ? if you're in units system millimeters and your scene is kilometers wide, then Vray can be doomed when firing rays..

or perhaps there's ome null or any object or spline forgotten very far..

in this case, you can select objects wich represent your scene to your eyes, then "save selected", then import them in a fresh scene, to see if the message is removed.

also some imported objects with different units can have a huge bouding box and needs a reset xform to work fine.

as i said, my students and myself are making often animations in BF/LC and the result is pretty decent.

ECV students made this video with combination of flythrough, BF/LC, and most of the time, IM(+DE)/LC. Result is insane. (They are kind of young genius..) was a pleasure to teach them Vray anim rendering.

@Rich:
Vray 3.0 have nothing special about removing flickering, excpet it is optimised for BF/BF rendering. Another cool stuff in it is the "probabilistic lights" wich greatly helps to render faster when having lots of Vray lights in scene.
Also Embree Raycaster have been introduced (works only with static geometry at this stage). Itoffers a huge speedup in renderings as well.
Finally the "max ray intensity" helps removing fireflies on bruteforce renderings.
All these 3 options are managed in solidrocks since the 1.5 build.
