Element 3D – Ambient Occlusion – Ray-Traced issues
Dealing with some strange rendering issues with Ambient Occlusion / Ray-Traced issues. On one frame, I get the accurate look I want. Then it disappears. Not really a flickering issue, but not getting consistent rendering through animation. When the shadow detail disappears, subtle banding is across the frame. I’ve experimented with many settings (samples, intensity, etc..) but nothing solving this issue. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Okay, so I scaled up the object by 200%, and thought I had it figured out, but seems like it’s getting worse. Render freezes with obvious similar and more apparent artifacts. Strange, while previewing different frames in timeline, doesn’t present problems. But when I render, the whole thing crashes. I have a pretty good graphics card, that is listed as a supported card.
Nvidia Quadro P4000 / 32 GB RAM. Intel i7 7700K cpu 4.2 GHz
Anyone seen something like this before?

Bart, please tell me, have you solved this problem somehow? I have absolutely the same problem, and I don’t know what to do anymore…

Alexey, Sorry it’s been a while, and I usually post answers when I figure out answers here. I don’t remember exactly how this was solved. I think I played around with the samples in AO – RTAO and multisampling? I might have even hit a block and reverted to SSAO in AO. Sorry I can’t be more help. Good luck

Another possible solution, I’ve noticed if I’m rendering into the media encoder to a compressed format (.h264) it has a higher potential for problems. I’ve found rendering directly out of AE into a ProRes format can fix certain issues.
