Hi all, I've rendered out a scene using the skylight (http://3d.digitalmedia.cz/plugins/skylight/) plugin (very handy by the way...highly suggest using it). It seems that at times the lights/shadows or something flickers. I had a similar problem like this and the solution was to change and tweak the global illumination settings. The problem with that on this animation is that I'm not using global illumination. So, is it a matter of increasing my res of my shadows? Would that even help? Just wanted to get some feedback to direct me in my testing. Thanks!

Yep, increase shadow map resolution as the first step. The default is usually a bit low for most scenes.
