"smooth can be achieved....such as in this Modo render

but at what cost, and for what purpose. I'd bet they used 100% straight raytrace for that."
Yes note how he only rendered 3 seconds!!
"Animation is for story telling. The artist must "animate" (bring to life) the human gestures that convey meaning. This is a far diffeent mission that for a still."
Well Said John, For my purposes I have established a 7 min per frame standard
anything beyond that and start to optimize the scene or investigate rendering passes of separate elements with alphas for compositing in post.
Hmmm...his thread has got me curious now
I have this set of excellent HDRI presets for Cinema4D
http://greyscalegorilla.com/hdristudio/
and it includes a preset that claims "Flicker free GI rendering"
using C4D physical "Sky sampler"
I think I shall test that "Flicker free GI rendering" claim tonight with an imported IPP poser figure standing and talking with gestures.
Cheers
