Camera only Jitter

[p3taoctane]

Gidday Jim Star,
Hope Berkinhead is treating you well. I lived in Devonport for a while. Loved it. Congrats mate.

I have done a couple of "camera move only" movies I tried and in both cases I get a kind-of jitter that is not in the playblast movies.

Any idea what might be causing it? It is smooth as a babies bottom when rendered out in Maya

Sorry, I have not very good understood, can you please explain more detailed? Do you rendered this movie in Maya plugin?.. Or somewhere else (and in Maya it was "smooth")?..

[p3taoctane]

yes. smooth animation when rendered out in maya... not in octane

Any ideas Jim Star?

It's hard to say as I did not see the scene... Have you checked the camera and look-at coordinates in verbose log? Are they correct?..

[p3taoctane]

It is a standard camera with with no look-at node with auto focus on the octane side.

I just did a real quick test with a camera only move and standard camera with auto focus for 120 frames and it was all smooth in octane...

So I guess it is on my end and back to the drawing board as to why it might be doing it... I'll keep you posted if I figure it out

My guess is that auto focus makes the jitter. I'll try to disable it and do some keyframe animation there.

[p3taoctane]

I tried turning auto focus off and key framing teh focal points and still got the jitter.
I have to do some simple tests to check it... but too busy trying to get real work done : > ))
