[Max] I need help! / Animation in render farm flickering
« on: 2022-01-11, 17:00:50 »
Hello all,
I have an animation project with camera move only - interior scene.
The scene is lit with an HDRI and some recessed spots (2D disks with corona light material applied).
I have rendered 30 frames as a test in my workstation, with pre-calculated UHD and everything looks fine.
When I send the very same frames to a render farm, each frame comes out with slightly different lighting! I have tried two render farms and this occurs to both (although it was slightly less visible in the second farm). I have also tried sending without pre-calculated GI and the result is the same. When the farm frames are compiled to video, some flickering is visible...
Any ideas why this occurs? It is driving me nuts! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I can't share images or video because it's a confidential project.
Thank you for your help!
