UPDATED 2_27_13! RENDER USING EXR Lossy Zip16! Since I'm working on a new feature film that will generate over 1500 shots made up of image sequences I need to make sure I choose the right file format to render to lest my hard drives explode. What I need from my format is at least 16bit, an alpha included and preferably small size. I rendered out a frame from my film tallied up all the file sizes here- their all different types of codecs listed from smallest file size to largest. The render includes an RGBA pass, Depth pass, and Material Luminance pass because thats what I always render out. 1.00mb 8bit-Photo Jpeg %100 1.27mb 8bit-PNG 4.65mb 16bit- EXR lossy ZIP16 5.75mb 8bit-PSD 6.23mb 16bit-EXR lossy PLZ 6.44mb 16bit-PNG 7.94mb 8bit-TIFF 8.50mb 16bit-EXR Lossy 24 9.05mb 16bit-EXR Lossy Run Length 14.6mb 8bit-TARGA 22.4mb 32bit-EXR ZIP16 24.6mb 32bit-EXR Zip1 25.6mb 32bit-EXR PLZ 29.3mb 16bit-TIFF 29.3mb 16bit-PSD 40.0mb 32bit-EXR Run Length 58.7mb 16
Thanks for opening my eyes about this book. Just placed my order now and told 3 other people about it!
ReplyDeleteBTW. can you please put a blog search box on your blog.. You have hundreds (if not thousands of entries) and it's hard to find old articles I've already read before. Would be nice to throw in a keyword and let it filter the results on your blog. Cheers mate!
@Amer
ReplyDeleteNo proB! Now there is a search bar right above the posts ^ ^ thanks for the recommendation!
Perfecto!!! Thanks for that.. I've been lurking on your blog for years and finding old entries was starting to get harder and harder!
ReplyDeleteBTW, have you checked out Seth Godin's book (Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?). That one is a real motivator. It's what got me to finally start learning filmmaking and 3D animation, after putting it off for nearly 10 years!
@Amer no proB! Yeh if you check my past entries I talked about Linchpin a bit as it made a big impression on me as well ^_^ Steven Pressfield's "The war of art" is another great motivator
ReplyDeleteJust slammed that picture in someone's face JUST NOW. Thanks dood.
ReplyDeleteHey M,
ReplyDeletewhat happened to the world premiere? Isn't it due?
@Johnny Guitar
ReplyDeleteI cancelled that festival screening... I wrote a post about why a few weeks back... I'm looking at premiering somewhere else now ^ ^ As soon as I know anything I'll post here of course!
Premier it in my living room. I'm sure my mom would be down to make everyone some burritos.
