I have just completed  animation /poser8 / James g2 /Talk designer/ 2 lights/head camera
and I have animated flickering shadows across the face any ideas?

If you enabled GI then you won't get rid of "flickering shadows" effect - I had a thread about it - but cannot find it.

If not then try increasing shadow map size resolution or change shadows to ray traced - may help.

 Thank you
Sorry new to this enabled GI ?
I have changed to ray trace .

If you don't know what IDL is, then you didn't turn it on, so ignore the comment about GI. GI is Global Illumination. Poser 8 has one of hundreds of approaches to GI, which is IDL. Many methods of GI produce variability that isn't real and this is apparent in animations. Adom thought you were running into this.

So you changed to raytraced shadows - did that fix it or not. If not you must show us what the symptom is, not with words, but with pictures.

 Well it will take time it is a long render , I am hoping that changing to ray trace will do the job.
Thanks again will start the rend

there is a shadow only render option. that way you can preview the shadows.

Long time to render?

You're going about this the wrong way then.

What frame number shows the flicker? What frame number does not?

Render just those two frames and show me.

For purposes of demonstrating shadow problems, you don't need a whole animation, you don't need full size, and you don't need high render settings. You should be able to render two frames of about 400 pixels wide in less than 30 seconds.

 AH!
Changing to Ray Trace has done the job.
Quite right , the problem is sorted no flickering shadows.
All the frames were showing  the flicker.
Thank You All

dont forget to add some blur to the shadows. 100% sharp shadows dont look nice.

 Will do , lost my concentration , went off on a tangent looking at Mr Bagginsbill
