Hey, folks -- I'm working on an animation in RDS. It's of a large spaceship with lots of tiny, illuminated windows. When I render the animation with subtle motion (like a slow dolly toward the ship), the smallest windows wink on and off. Also, nearly horizontal lines tend to "shimmer," as do nearly vertical lines. It seems to be similar to an anti-aliasing problem, but I'm pretty sure that it's a result of the scan-lines in NTSC video. I'm rendering with Adaptive Oversampling at best, smart sampling and lighting smart sampling off, and with field rendering enabled (I've tried both with field rendering on and off). I can see the effect when I single-frame walk through the rendered animation within RayDream, so I'm sure it's not an effect of the output-to-NTSC modules I'm using. Does anyone know (or even have any good guesses)what I can do do eliminate these effects? I have at my disposal RayDream Studio 5.5, Adobe Premiere LE 5.5, Adobe Premiere 5.0 (full version), and Adobe After Effects 3.1.1 (not the production bundle). Any help will be MOST appreciated. Thanks! Dex
