Vance, field rendering gives you 60 images per second by generating two
individual fields per every frame of video. The human eye can perceive a pause
at any speed under 48 frames per second. In motion picture projection [Cthis
is overcome by passing the shutter in front of the projector twice for every
frame. The flicker is perceived by the eye and the mind is fooled into
thinking it saw 48 frames.
In NTSC video, each individual frame is actually comprised of two fields. Most
computer animation systems repeat the same field for the entire frame. But once
you've compared 30fps to 60 fields per second, you'll never go back. –Rick
