Ours showed up more on render models being read in with a point cache - I set up an ICE fix to move the set back to a reasonable place!

I was responding to Sandy's comment about a mesh appearing turbulent when really far from the world center. I've seen that in rigs all the time.

Not sure of this threshold, but I must say Softimage does not like stuff too far away!

But I'm having real problems with bumpmaps being generated on that object (using cell scalar nodes). Everything was fine, then I added an icosohedron scaled to surround everything, and my bumpmaps have gone very strange. I've tried freezing scale, different types of textures for the bump input, but it all ends up going weird. Is there anything obvious about scene size (distance from origin) and bumpmaps I need to know?
