Well its wierd..its just like 5 frames or so @ random intervals. The poly's are dropping that are at the edge of the camera field. This is a common occurance in video games (clipping) but a 3d program shouldnt have the same problem. Its not dropping a shape or a primitive its actually dropping a polygon thats is non existant..almost like a direct x error or something. Worst case I bring them into photoshop and hand correct them with the pixels from the previous frame (I love photoshop and AE) Im not using distance fog tho so it shouldnt be that. I'll post this thing up when its done. The current problem is that its going to take about 3 weeks to render on this machine. I am thinking I will bring my machine from home and network it here. I think that will drop the render time to 7-10 days. Anyone have a renderfarm set up yet?
