> I have to disagree here. Image sequences suck for time critical renders in my case. I will agree and disagree – it depends on a lot of factors. Lost time due to QT render failing if the renders are long (I routinely have 3 to 5 day renders) means I always use image sequences and compile to image sequences and store as image sequences. But if you have short renders that almost never barf – QT only workflow can make sense on a small render farm (mine is 2-4 machines). Disk and LAN speed is also a factor as well as which QT codec you use – speed varies considerably there. It’s sounds like in your world “an hour” is a really long time. In my world “an hour” is an average single frame render speed J stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. –Stanley Kubrick |
