Strobing material

[JoeV]

Have a glass object with a metal probe inserted into the orange liquid -- the probe, is a preset material the glass is my recipe. Running a test movie -- I see the probe strobing and I also noticed that the metal portion above the glass is blown out, while the probe inside the glass seems to stay the same no matter how I adjust it's brightness. It's been a while since I've used EI, so most likely I've forgotten something simple. 

 

Thanks!

Ola Joe,

 

You had a mixed scene setting, your Photons Lights are GI & Secondary, but your GI window is using Irradiance (Draft).

Project attached, its full Irradiance, its slower than Photons only.

Photons only have the group behind the glass flicking, I will need to investigate better later.

 

Thanks for your project.

Thanks Tomas, I figured I had something set incorrectly. In my quest to get a decent looking glass textured and lighted, I must have selected options without knowing the ramifications. I need to brush up on EI lighting.

Ola Joe!

 

But GI & Secondary are the fast transparency render using Photons, Irradiance is the most precise.

I will add here in our list to take a look further in your proj!!

 

Thanks
