This script smooth final gather files over time so there is no flickering in you scene by final gather.
Normal you have 2 options in mental ray how you can render the animation. Freeze and on.
With on you can get flickering in your animation. With freeze you don't but the shadow are not updated. I have added a second option and that is sfg. You don't have flickering and you have shadows that are updated.
How does the script work.
The script works in 3 steps
- Render final gather for diffrent frames
- blend final gather for each frame
- render the scene with the blended final gather file
This is my first script and it is not perfect yet and no good user interface. You understand that it is a beta version. Pleas tel me what you think of the script and if you need help how to use it pleas check out www.artistmind.nl for more info. You must set your final gather min and max raduis correctly if you want that the script work.
