Hello there everybody!! I'm trying to render a scene in mental ray using final gathering, but when it ends the render and i play the animation it flicks in the contact shadows. Is it a sample problem or i need a bigger file size, i dont know, can anybody help me, please?

hi trattor
i think you need to increese the amount of final Gather rays in the render globals/final gather (be careful for increase in rendertimes)

min radius 10% of the size of your scene (if your scene is 10 maya units your value is 1)
max radius is 10% of min radius

I hope this solves your problem, you might need to play around whit these values
