Procedural textures swimming on camera movement

[amitc]

Hello,

I am using rock and granite as procedural materials on a simple nurbs plane.

The nurbs plane is static.

Edit: I have a bump map from a file

When I animate a camera they swim.

So far I have tried the following with no joy

1) Made the effect "local" for rock and granite.

2) Parented the 3d texture node with geometry

3) Texture reference object for object

4) Converted the shader network to file textures, no joy here either

I would appreciate helpful pointers, I am using Maya 2008.

Thanks a lot.

Too high noise ratio. Apply a filtering to the texture. For a clear explanaton fo the phenomena:

Either applying some filtering or lowering frequency/ making more samples is the only thing you can do, no matter what you want to do.

Thanks Joojaa, I am slowly wokring around this issue by tweaking place3dtexture settings. Its boring and cumbersome, but there seems to be no better alternative.
