There's certainly more data in Hi-res/Lo AA, but if you let LW autoscale
down to NTSC, you'll get artifacting/jaggies. Med-res is already in FS
scale and then is Med AA. So for NTSC, this is the best way to go unless
you add an additional ADPRO step to scale down NTSC.
We render all of our finals at Med-Res Lo AA, and only the most motion
intensive go to Motion Blur. We have the advantage of Underwater Fog to
help blends our edges etc. but our tests for space and otherwise show the
same results. I prefer to render in Med-Res/Med Motion Blur myself, which
gives me AA, Depth of Field, along with Motion Blur for free :} take
longer but the look is very film like. Raptor users should really try
Motion Blur…
The resolution and AA settings will certainly vary with final output as
well. We recently rendered in 65mm film res (2880×2048) with Hi-AA and
also the same resolution with High Motion Blur….very nice and the render
times were remarkably reasonable!
