I have finally reached my break point! Help! Why is it that if you want a clean animation, with shadows, you have but basically one shadow choice – raytrace? Regardless of the endless permutations of settings for mapped shadows, they always flash somewhere in the animation. If you blast the intensity of the mapped shadow by using an additional omni light, you can reduce the flash effect, somewhat, but you still get a flash. Go to fields and the flashing is even worse! Yes I have read the books, yes I have tried changing the "ABSOLUTE" setting, yes I have played with this for nearly three years…HELP! Is it me? Is it 3DS? Any help here would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks
