great vidoe man .. but i have a question .. is there a way to avoid the light flickering happens when u try to do animation with sun and sky ?

[youmayatutorials]

@ofiragorn there should be no light flickering with animated objects, even if you animate the sun directional light. ill have a look but i might have something to do with final gather if you're using that?

@youmayatutorials hi man.. thnx for responding .. I did meant with final gather .. when i use sun and sky it add V in Final gather tab ... and it creates flickering while im animating objects and the camera ... any way to solve it ?

[youmayatutorials]

@ofiragorn i would say final gather may be causing the problem as it can give bright spots, if you can try changing some of the final gather options by increasing the values so that it renders a more accurate result, if not im not sure sorry, ill have a look and if i find out ill tell ya :D
