Animation in NX-11 Using IRAY Rendering

So far I'm getting a lovely rendering of my favourite assembly in NX-11 Ray Traced Studio. But I can't seem to convince the animation side of things to produce the equivalent result. The advanced Studio environment will produce something, but its not nearly up to the same quality.

Under NX-10 the previous behaviour was that once you set up a high quality image then you could launch the animation tool and it'd reliably produce the same quality result.

Thus far what I'm getting is scrappy output with a green stripe across the bottom.

I know how to turn off the IRAY variable, but that's hardly the goal of the exercise. So, what I'm looking for is the news that IRAY isn't fully supported for animation yet, or better still that I need only tweak a couple of settings to have it work properly.



Best Regards

I am learning 3ds Max Due to this function not being available in NX. Which is a huge program to learn. There is a free program called Blender also that can render animations.
 
Hudson888, that is disappointing hopefully I-Ray animation functionality is included in future releases.

As for alternative software I have seen and heard good stuff about Keyshot, sadly the NX integration requires the enterprise license which is a bit pricey.

Blender is powerful, free and extension-able but the interface is a real struggle and it takes quite a bit of time to get up and running.
