Animation Tips: Compromise between speed and quality? 2004-06-08 - By hdaggers2000

Hi Animators,
I'm looking for tips to keep render time down while mantaining
quality. Assuming there's no secret formula that will get you both,
I'd like to hear some of your render settings....
My render solutions (other than optimising the scene itself) are
to only use Shadows and Reflections (no Bump or Transparency
in this scene). Avoiding the GI renderer has added many small
lights and Anything Glows objects to the scene..., but the biggest
compromise I have right now are AntiAliasing, and Object and
Shadow Accuracy. With these set to low qualities I'm getting
about a frame per minute, but with high-quality settings renders
are more on the order of 19 minutes per frame! Wow, that's quite
a difference. Unfortunately, I feel like the textures and pixels are
really "noisy" on the lower settings. Single frames are fine but it
really shows in the animation where pixels create a "noisy grain"
from frame to frame....
Any tips you could offer? When is pixel noise "good enough"? Are
there other parameters I've maybe missed? Subjective opinions
are welcome.
Cheers!
