what are your anti-aliasing settings?
how far did you push the resolution.



no, it shouldn't flicker at all.

Is there a way to get shadow map shadows to stop flickering even when nothing is moving?

This is what I have tried to no avail.

On the spot light (cone angle less than 90):
Resolution up ( and down).
Softness up and down.
Samples up.


None of these make any diference to the flickering.

On the render panel:
I've played around with the antialiasing and jitter.
On the shadows page I've clicked off rebuild.


No joy.

I was using the open GL option for shadow map 'type'. Then I flipped it back to default.
This made a slight improvement I think, but it's still flickering.


Am I missing something or is flickering just a feature of xsi shadow maps? Is there a sneaky plugin somewhere?

If any one can shed any /light/ on this subject I'd be all ears.
Cheers.
