Ok I'm working on a demo reel and have a car modeled and using MR to render it. So what I need help/advice on is this:
-It's going to take forever to render so in order to not loose any renderings I'm hoping to find a script that will save each frame by it's frame number in a folder and then compile them in a video editing program. If anyone knows of something like that it'd help. I browsed www.scriptspot.com and found 1 script but haven't tried it just yet.
-When doing animations with MR are there some settings that can be lowered to speed up rendering times and not really effect the quality? Like trace depths and such?
-I just did a test with motion blur and it seems to really increase render times but it makes the wheels look cool. Anyway to reduce it? Using default settings right now.
-Is 640x480 a decent size for animations for a demo reel or should I try for 800x600?
Hmm that's all I can think of right now. If anyone has other advice that would be great! Anyway here's a very near final pic of what I'll be animating. And WIP thread here http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=241764
