How to make flicker free animation?

[ydiaz]

Hey free3dart,

I'm definitely no expert but I ran into a problem where the render flickered because I was using a render farm to output the images. The images from one computer had different shadows from the other one, crazy stuff, but it might help you. Otherwise there a ton of forum posts out there that address the issue, check out a simple Google seach (http://www.google.es/search?hl=en&q=mental+ray+flicker+3dsmax&btnG=Buscar+con+Google&meta=&aq=f&oq=).

Good luck!

It would be easier to diagnose the flickering problem if we could see an example of what's happening.

I had problems setting up a mental ray render farm before. We're using Maya 2008 and to do a Mental Ray render you have to enable the MR plugin. But when I set up the batch file to pick up the MR scene's and render it using MR it only works on the computers that have the MR plugin enabled. The computers that don't have the plugin automatically enabled would not render properly. So I'd get 3 good frames with 1 bad frame.
