For more information about moiré patterns - check this article.Ī moiré pattern appears when the camera is moving over a surface with a detailed texture. Please note that this is an expected effect which also happens in real life and is seen, for example, in digital photography. This can happen with such things as wire fences, floor tiles, etc. Moire - usually a shimmering effect is seen when two or more patterns (such as two sets of parallel lines) are placed on top of each other.See also: I can see bright pixels in grass!

If possible, use Highlight Clamping ( Max | C4D ). If the fireflies are caused by Corona Sun, you can use the excludes list in the Corona Sun to exclude the objects where the fireflies appear from the sun’s influence (useful if fireflies appear on grass, leaves, etc). If possible, render in a higher resolution so that reflections and refractions are rendered with higher quality. Render more passes (allow higher render time per frame). This will slightly blur the fireflies making them less visible. If possible, l ower the glossiness of the reflective material where the fireflies appear. This will mitigate fireflies in reflections and refractions.

If possible, use environment lighting with larger, less intensive light sources. A lower number of small, strong lights means less fireflies. Avoid using unrealistically bright lights, especially if they are small. They can also appear with a correct light and material setup, when there is a small light source, such as the sun, reflecting in an object:įireflies are visible on the surface of the sphere and it its reflection in the pink box. To learn more about the UHD Cache and how to use it in animations, see How to use the UHD Cache? ( Max | C4D )įireflies are single bright pixels which usually appear if incorrect light setup or high material glossiness values are used. Make sure you are using the "Animation (flicker-free)" preset in the UHD Cache settings rollout. Make sure your Secondary Solver in the Performance tab of the Render Setup window is set to UHD Cache.

Splotches can be caused by various issues. If you see it, it indicates that there is an issue in the scene setup or a bug. Generally, flickering is unwanted and should never appear. It can show as a change in brightness of the whole image from frame to frame, large splotches, or pixel-sized fireflies. Flickering is a broad term that usually refers to the appearance of flashing or unsteadiness in an animated sequence.
