Strange Artifacts over BulkyConifer!
------------------------------------------
I have made an animated Architectural scene with 3dsMax2010+SP1 and VuexStream 8.4.
I had problems with ConeShapedConifer: the leaves flickering.
I reset BumpFunction for this plant specie and the flickering disappear.
I have used TextureFiltering at 100% in the VuexStream>RenderingOptions
I made some tests and I am satisfied for smoothing.

But I decided to replace the Cone-ShapedConifer with BulkyConifer, because this specie of plant has more leaves, and the leaves are more tick and dense; this appears more appropriate for plants along the river.

- But after the complete rendering of the last 150 frames (that taken about 15 hours), I seen bad artifacts at the borders of BulkyConifer !
See the attached images:

I am unlucky !
These artifacts appears as bad behavior of alpha channel, but I am not sure what is the cause...
Help!

If you are rendering with Mental Ray you should check "Process Background an Environment Maps" in the Exposure Control settings.

Hope this helps,
