A customer has called with a question that I need some help with. While rendering to video, some frames show noise, which the customer describes as looking like a worn out video tape. There are 2 3DS files involved, an exterior (one light, shadow map = 512) which renders correctly every time, and an interior (41 lights, 5 of which cast shadows, shadow map =1600) which renders with intermittent "noise". The noise may or may not show up on any given frame. A restriped new tape gives the same results. Any clues? Thanks for your help. Nik
