@dostovel whoops, forgot to answer your questions.

One question, people need 15GB of their own Google Drive to do this? I thought the only 15GB that it was going to take up was the one that I created for this.

Everyone will need to have enough space in their G Drive to fit your folder. If they’ve filled the entire 15 GB allotment, they won’t be able to sync your folder. With that in mind, we’ll need to be mindful of the folder so it doesn’t grow too big.

Yikes..after doing the math, this means the first scene’s exr directory will total about 12 GB by itself. So yeah, we’ll only be able to do one scene at a time, you transfer those frames to your local machine, delete the frames from G Drive, and then do the same for the next scene.

Should I turn Motion Blur on in the render tab? I normally do it on the compositor but I have gotten weird artifacts from time to time and I don’t know if its worth the risk? I know turning it on on the render tab will have to be payed with render time though.

Honestly I’ve never rendered a cycles scene with true motion blur. Just for fear of renders taking forever I guess. Also it means we can’t tweak the MB in compositing if we wanted. So no I recommend doing it in compositing with the vector pass. There are usually some artifacts but no one has ever pointed them out in my projects – not terribly noticeable.

Does that mean I will have to generate the link for that scenes and it will be a different Google Drive link to have permissions for that new folder?

No you won’t have to generate a new G Drive link as long as you leave put all new scenes INSIDE the “Blender Packed Files” directory just like you did with these first scenes. Anything inside that folder will sync to anyone sharing the folder.
