*** I don't know if this should be in Max subforum... Using MAX Design 2010 and rendering from the plugin

My first silly animation with Maxwell... Actually it was a test...
I wanted to control a light's power and efficacy over time... So everything seems to work, except from the result...
Anyone has experienced this?
(Just a capture of the frames produced... This was the easiest method I found to show you as many as possible...


Also, I have a question....
Using Mental Ray, I know that I can make this using the mrSun (changing the spinner showing time) but this is obvious because it is an object (anyway something I can select on the screen)... With Maxwell, is it the same thing? Do I use the spinner of the Envir. Properties inside the Renderer dialog?
I thought I could use a daylight and choose this again as my environment but I want to know if I can do without it..

Thanks in advance for every answer

Do you have motion blur turned on for the emitter objects? There is a bug currently which can cause that look.

The only "animated thing" is the light power... Watts and efficacy... No objects animated so... I have not enabled motion blur for any object because nothing is moving

Even if nothing is animated, motion blur may still be on for the objects. Did you try switching MB off globally from render settings? See this post:
