Default Re: Mental Ray Animations: What's the Story?

Suprisingly animation with mr is simpler than still rendering.

You can use rediculously low fg photon settings which makes light calculations very fast.

Only gripe I have is you have to have high image sampling to get rid of moire effects and very small detail can flicker even with high AA.

I have done quite a few mr animations (mainly shoping malls) and been very pleased with the results.

Yes you do have to pre-save the FG , but only every nth frame. there are a few threads covering this so do a search
