Subject: Question for all you animators that use Poser
Are you using some sort of raytracing in Poser? Flickering usually only occurs when you have that sort of thing, because standard depth maps (or no shadows at all) produce no flickering

I've never rendered an animation in Poser. My animated PZ3s were usually rendered in Vue or Carrara.

yes nemirc, im using pp2012, i generally have raytracing turned on, can the animation side not handle raytracing?

The problem of flickering lights and shadows is mentioned in the manual.
It is about rendering animations using IDL, but it may relate to simple raytraced lights and shadows as well.
The solution is to set the Number of Threads in the Render Tab of General Preferences to 1
Maybe one thread is rendering a bucket getting hit by light, while another thread is rendering the same bucket +1 frame, but doesn't know that it just got hit by light...
...or something like that :-D

But doesn't limiting the number of render threads to just one negate the render-speed benefits of of the newer multi-core processors?

I am pretty sure it does.
I could live with it, when rendering a still image, but when rendering hundreds of frames...
I really do hope, SM finds a solution allowing the use of multiple threads when rendering animation using IDL.

Ditto to that!
One of the main reasons I just spent a ton of $$$ getting a new 64-bit, high-speed multicore system was to do animations in Poser.
Guess I shouldn't have trusted SM so much to deliver.

anyone that uses raytracing on in image rendering pngs for export got any tips as to render settings that give a good balance of quality and speed. Raytracing is a must in the scenes i'm using.......

Hi there was a recent thread in the poser forum about the flickering issue
the bottom line is that Flickering is a long standing problem
in ALL major rendering apps except the few that have implemented " Frame averaging" solutions like Maxon's Advanced Render3 or chaos group's V-ray.
I even did my own GI RENDER TEST
to check how C4D handles the issue.
but I am not aware of any option within poser itself to force it to make identical sample calculations across a series of frames.
sorry
Cheers
thanks wolf, it seems that the answer is, if you want to use the advantages of idl and rt, then dont do animation in poser..........kinda makes the animation side of it pretty pointless, maybe sm will sell half a working program ;)

hi guys, my question is, poser defaults at 30fps for anim, how often do you keyframe for animation if for example you are using lypsync or mimic, a 30 second anim, the only reason i ask, is that using 1 per frame for exporting as a png has led me to suffer a lot of lighting flicker when i have reassembled the image in an external editor...plus 900 frames is a huge export.....I've done some anim in the past, but i could do with some input, thanks in advance.........
