Okay, I've finally put up a short clip of this shadow anomaly. An anomaly, I might add, which I can't hardly believe no one has noticed/complained/explained before. Well, here it is in all it's glory. The avi is at 640x480 so you can see EXACTLY what I'm talking about. ***NOTES*** - Pay special attention to the shadows under the BOTTOM LIP, NOSE, and THE EYELIDS !! You can't miss the "dancing shadows." Another way to describe it is it looks like the shadows have been hit with electricty. - This is NOT an isolated incident ... although it seems to mostly affect animations invloved with facial shots. (For example, in an earlier animation with the same setup but from a different angle, I did not notice shadow spasticness on other body parts or objects. - No, animated lights were NOT present. Animation was turned off for all lights. - The map size for shadows was set to 1024. Can anyone explain WHY this is happening? Has anyone else experience this bizzare shadow characteristic? It's incredibly annoying ... and I sincerely hope this is not just a fact when animating with Poser. Your input and help is GREATLY appreciated. -Tim (The file is little over 1 MEG.)
