Rendering for film 2005-05-04 - By tony@(protected)
Back Hi all,
Need some advice for quality settings when rendering for output to film.
I have a project i'm working on that will be scanned onto 35mm film for cinema projection. I'm currently working at 2k 1.851 aspect.
Now the scene isn't particularly geometry heavy, most primitive shapes and some lofted surfaces (it's quite an abstract piece), and lighting wise i'm using a couple of spotlights and FG. I have two passes setup, a beauty pass and a dirtmap pass.
When I test render at half res, it renders quite quickly, around 3-4 minutes a frame. However, when I render full res, rendertime rocker up to about 1hr 15mins! Is this right?
Also, this is the first time i'm doing a project for cinema projection, so i'm setting FG accuracy and anti-aliasing quite high (FG Accuracy 1500, aliasing min 2, max 4, mo-blur enabled) since I presume this is required to produce a high quality image when seen projected.
At this rate, it will take around 90 odd days to render accross the few machines I have to spare. Obviously, this isn't acceptable, so I'm hopingthere is something I can do to speed up the rendering.
Any advice?
Cheers Tony.
