Using "Tower Tutorial" by "schmeerlap", available here:
http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=12630.0I created a simple animation to test in "perfect resize7".
Original animation
432x243
Detail: 0.8, A:5, GI: 3, 2, 8
No other changes were made
The animation took 2m30s per frame, for a total 3h17m14s to finish at 100 frames total.
Here is the un-resized original animation:
http://vimeo.com/27063162I then resized every frame in perfect resize to 1280x720 by batch process, batch processing takes very little time.
Here is the resized video:
http://vimeo.com/27063337As you can see, the resized image shows the lack of detail in the original much more clearly, but resizing, in and of its self, does not degrade quality to a high level.
It seams that if a animation render is done with high detail but small pix ratio, then the animation can be resized while maintaining high quality.
There was no additional flicker, though the flicker that was there became clearer.
The smaller the resize the better the results. I think that this is a viable way to save many hours rendering
My vimeo account is not premium, so it is not in HD, but you can still confirm my test.
Thanks, hope you will chime in!
