Hello,I am having problems with my renders.I am using Final gathering for my renderings and I have noticed that the shadow areas of my renders are shaky or boiling.I have tried to increase the shadow rays but it seems to still be there.Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Thanks.

    Have you tried to adjust your final gather settings? To get better light distribution and shadows you need more rays and a better blending between the final gather points.

    Do u mean increasing the final gather accuracy and point density?I did try to increase it and right now the render time is quite long.I will try to bump it up.
    Thanks.

    EDIT:I tried it.Didn't solve the problem.So I have turned off FG and decided to put lights in the scene.Problem now is the highlights on a transparent object is flickering.
