Hello all
I’m having a problem with my latest scene, when I render my sequence my bump maps seem to flicker slightly.
I cranked up my max shading samples which helped but it is still
flickering, I’m using Maya.
If anyone knows any solutions please help me out
thanks
Nick

may be this is a dumb question but are you bump image in black and white? the programs read better black and white, with a black and white image you can put the ammount of bump a lot less higher which will help not to flicker... the programs read the contrast to evaluate the bumps... if you have already done that... then I hope someone else will have a good answer to help you
