Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Jan 22 12:55 am)
Subject: Help! I gots the Firefly Raytrace Uglies!
The shadows are ray-traced. There's a change of render or shadow settings which can fix this. I've had the problem fixed before, but it was fixed. I just don't remember which settings to toggle, or how. :unsure:

Thank you! :) Does the bias level need to be raised, or lowered? And is there a way to do that globally in the render settings, or do I have to do each object individually?

Yup... Shadow Min Bias setting. It seems increasing it might be the thing.
When stuff like this comes up I just run to this site for the anser...

My brain is just a toy box filled with weird things
That's the place I needed! Woot!
The answer is to INCREASE the shadow min bias for the lights. Which still leaves me confused about how I had things fixed before using the default state. Hmm. Maybe I dreamed it. I thought one of the global render settings could fix this.
Thanks, folks. :woot:

That's good to know :) I had the same problem the other day and couldn't figure out what the problem was. I wanted to get in there and clean off the camera lens, LOL That shadow min bias was probably the problem for me too because as soon as I changed light sets the black lines were gone.
I'll add this to my lighting bookmarks thread.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi

You are my King !
Thanks for this link.
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic
activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is
indispensable: intoxication.
We have art in order not to die of the
truth.

I once knew how to remedy this, and my old computer had Poser set up to defaults which avoided this problem with Firefly. But my newer system has the trouble and I don't know how to fix it!Can anyone remind me how to get rid of these black jaggie rendering artifacts? Is it shading rate? Shadow min bias? Help! It looks like I have the toxic Black Mold of Death in my bedroom set.
