they say they don’t support Open EXR
Wait…what? I saw someone say they didn’t support 32 bit EXRs but I didn’t realize no EXRs at all. That could be a big deal.
Personally I only do EXR’s for maybe 25% of my animation rendering. Most of the time I’m able to include my compositing tricks at render time and output PNGs.
@dostovel Can your compositing be applied to your earth scene at render time for outputting PNGs? You can still do some compositing with PNGs after the fact like color corrections, adding vignette, and/or adding lens flares. But vector-pass motion blur and fake DoF can’t be composited with PNGs, though it looks like you’re doing those 2 things true with Cycles anyway.
The priority slider isn’t clear to me either. I just leave it at the normal 0 value. Though I just realized one of my machines was set all the way to low. Maybe that explains why that machine is making notably few points despite being active much longer…
