4K Test Render (Patreon)

Playing around with resolutions recently. I typically render out all my scenes for 1080p. Now obviously 1080p is by no means groundbreaking but its decent and doesn't take forever for me to render out a couple of seconds. I actually wanted to try to render out at 8K resolution and...um...Well, my computer literally froze and shit the bed. I could render out maybe 20% of a 10 second loop before everything would freeze.

So....Yeah, no 8k content today. I decided to move on to the next best thing. 4K and I must say. I do like the sharpness it brings. I was pleasantly surprised by the file size too. Which is a big plus. I figured I'd share this 4k shot with everyone.

Now does this mean I'll be upgrading to 4K? Not yet, but I would like too eventually. The biggest draw back is obviously the render time. Just those 10 seconds I shared took roughly 3-4 mins to render and that shot was a simpler one as well. A more complex scene like the Tifa Gang Bang would easily take 7-9 mins to render out a shot at 4K. So a 10 to 15 min movie would take a massive chunk of rendering time.

But who knows what the future holds right? What do you guys think? Would you like to see some 4K content in the future?
