Rendering for film 2005-05-04 - By Duncan Burch
Back
When rendering for 2k on the film im working on at present, Ive not been
rendering that high at all.
The most common settings are -1, 1. It just takes too long otherwise, bear
in mind though we have a lot of grain and blurs on in post.
If you are doing post work on your renders, try lowering your anit-alisaing
settings and see what you can get away with. To me 2,4 is way too high.
