1080P or 720P? (Patreon)
Content
Should I stick with rendering at 1080P or should I drop down to 720P? 720P will speed up rendering a bit. Depending on how fast I animate, that may or may not speed up the final animation. Here's a scenario...
Lets say, I complete 3-7 scenes in a week (thats my goal depending on the complexity of the scene). If I have a busy week where I finish, lets say, 6 scenes, that's probably 160+ hours of rendering at 1080p. So, unless I am rendering perfectly (exactly when the previous renderings finish) I will fall behind on rendering. Over the course of the entire animation, this may even out by the end or I may get stuck a week or two behind. Its hard to explain exactly why but 1080P will probably cause some sort of delay in the end. Maybe a few days, maybe a couple of weeks. Its really hard to say.
However, at 720P, I should be able to safely stay caught up with rendering each day after I animate a scene.
Anyway, my gut says stick with 1080P but I wanted to check with everyone first and get their thoughts.
