"opera, i see still no cure to the excited hair (see her left neck)" Hmmm. I thought that was the shadow flicker causing it to look restless, but you may be right. The monitor I'm viewing with is a bit dark, so it's hard to see details in the shadow areas of that scene. Opera, might wanna check that hair group, and perhaps play a bit more with the dampening settings for it. As for shadow flicker, I'd be willing to bet there's a mathematical cure to it somewhere, using shadow map size. It might have something to do with the distance of the light from the object, mulitplied by whatever, gives you the correct map size to use for the scene. I don't know.
