I am just now getting back into animating with Vue after a LONG hiatus (other than some very brief dabbling about a year ago that is), so I am admittedly a little rusty with settings, etc.
I did a test animation (see attachment) in a GR environment where I was pretty pleased that there was virtually no noise in the render. Then again, there were no procedural terrains or trees off in the distance, etc. However, what I did notice (and you will too) is that shadows are dancing all over the place. Even in the beginning where the camera isn't even moving, suprisingly, the shadows are jumping all over the place.
I'll list ALL my render and light settings (only used one light: Sun) for this animation (and/or post pics), and I was hoping someone could tell me what settings would clean this up with minimal impact on render time. Any insight on settings would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
(Warehouse Main Render Settings)
** SUB-RAY SETTINGS WERE**: 5/5 (I'm guessing this is kind of low, and could be the culprit?)
**(Warehouse Anti-Alias Settings)
**
(Warehouse Atmos. Light Settings)
(Warehouse Light Shadow Settings - SUN)
Let me know if there is something else that needs to be seen. I'm guessing it has something to do with the subray count and/or the Shadow Settings under the Light's shadow properties.
Thanks!
