It does not appear to be style specific (last posting was using the default style)

• The face me components are just plain colours (no png materials or alpha channels involved).
• The artifacts show up only when the sun is hitting the face.
• When the face of the component is in shadow, the artifacts do not appear.
• It also does not occur when shadows are turned off in the views.

I have attached the model. File->Export->Animation to create the animation between the 2 scenes.

Oh... and my work PC just has an onboard Intel HD Graphics chip (Core i3) while my home mac has an ATI Radeon card of some sort (not at home so can't check details - an older but standard mac card)

Thanks for replying quickly.

I've tried your solution but the shadow string fix thing does not fix this issue.

Attached image is from an .avi created with my work PC running SU8.0.4811 with Windows Vista. Same problem and all I've done here is set up 2 views around the startup person and exported to .avi

Hi Everyone,

I know about the shadow artifact bug that was recently fixed, but has anyone noticed that when they create animations with face me components, in the frames between views you get annoying artifact lines on these components. It only seems to happen when the materials are 100% opaque. This happens on both the mac and PC versions of SU8 and did not occur on SU7.1. Shadow string fix button makes no difference before you ask. See image attached which is from a frame of an animation.

Searched forum and google but have not encountered anyone identifying this issue. Is it a bug or is it just me?
