Rendering for film 2005-05-04 - By Stuart Hall
Back
I've done quite a bit of film-res and I've so far managed to get away
anti-aliasing of -1,1 for moving objects. (The motion blurring will hide
much stuff).
2,4 seems a bit excessive. You should drop them and play more with the
threshold.

Subject: Rendering for film
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.
