James Cutler in new article in 3D World Magazine detaily describes what is the most reason of flicker, which is resulted when you render an animation using indirect illumination methods. He show, why this is happening and how do avoid. He brings rendering workflow, which teaches ushow to properly model the objects.
The Autodesk® IDEA Studio is a residency program for designers, engineers, artists, and scholars who are pursuing innovative projects that push design technology to its limits to solve real-life problems.

Hani Troudi published on portal 3Dtotal his Making of 'Gloom Room' where he is making a walk through his amazing work. The main idea of the render is an electric guitar which is Hani owning, actually is his guitar and also his room in which he placed the guitar and so created an amazing picture. In the making of he will explain the approach of modeling the electric guitar or the combo which can help some user by similar modeling. Also he explained how he managed to create realistic materials using textures taken from his room and applied to the render.
