Title: Light reflection flicker in glass and chrome materials
Post by: krisp on 2018-04-22, 02:01:27

Hi all,

I have a scene of an interior with just with camera movement/pan, all lights stay the same. When I render the animation, I get a light flicker in the reflection. What is causing it? I am using "load UHD Cache from file" option and "Animation (flicker-free)" preset, all other settings are a default.
In the gif attached you can see an example of the flicker.

Thanks for suggestions

Okay, to answer my own question looks like "Highlight clamping" fixed it.

Yes, that is caused by picking up random reflections.
