Issue with Water material

[ddustin]

I was working on an opening slide for a presentation, and tried using particles and the water material.

 

Started out OK but later frames in the render had a strange flickering effect.

 

This was rendered on a farm. There is no pattern to the flicker related to a specific machine in the farm.

Not sure about the flickering, looks like it might just be from the reflecktion of the particles... You need to animate the materials translation, to make the waves move.

Will,

So animating the material will alter the reflections. I get that.

 

I just saw strange differences (flicker) between frames.

 

It took about 12 hours to render that sequence, so I want to be sure.

 

Any thoughts on animating the material a certain way?

 

Thanks for your help.
