As we are getting closer to the point in our project where we will want to take our final renders, it is time for us to make some final adjustments to the scene in order to ensure that the quality is as high as possible. This can include spotting and fixing mistakes that we have made, as well as making needed aesthetic changes that were not perhaps apparent to us earlier on in the project.
- [Voiceover] We have reached the stage…in our project now where we really need to take…a close-up look at just what is going on in our scene.…Something we can only do properly by creating…a high resolution render…that can then be carefully scrutinized.…Whilst lots of tweaks and changes can be made in post,…an integral part of any production pipeline,…there are some problems that need to be spotted and fixed…before we get to the final render stage.…Now some of you who already have production experience…may have spotted and possibly even fixed…some of the problems…that we're going to be highlighting here.…
If you have, well done.…If not though now is our chance to see…just how important this final close-up examination can be.…Now ideally we want to be creating a render at this point…that uses the target resolution…for our project's deliverables.…In this instance though, as we have already said…that we are using a fairly low end…enhanced definition resolution of 854 by 480,…we need something a little higher,…as that really isn't large enough…
