Thanks for taking the time and checking everything out.

@theluthier Yes, the reason is that I get the feeling there is a crispiness that the render looses when I turn Denoising On. I was noticing muddiness in the renders and after a couple of testing I found Denoising to be the culprit. I guess it’s just in the nature of how it works. But that was in render images, maybe in animation is not noticeable since there’s motion blur anyways. I was getting that with the setting left in default, I even turned them down a bit so it didn’t get so mushy, still I got that mushy vibe.

You think I should turn it on? then do a couple of test the figure out a happy medium with lower samples?

Also could you explain the “Relative Path” thing, I have never understood that. There was an old Jonathan Williamson tutorial about that I saw years ago, but it’s not available anymore. I wish I had downloaded that.  

I haven’t used Blender 2.8 but I guess this is a good time as any. I will get on it ASAP in getting the file ready so you can use the GPU. It’s worth it, that speeds up the renders significantly. I do have to go through the 2.8 learning curve though.

Since it’s only 15GB of space available, it’s going to have to be one file at a time. Once the frames of the first file are all done, I will copy paste the resulting EXR into my local disk and delete them from Google Drive so it frees up the GB space and then it’ll be file #2 turn. Once the two files from that scene are all rendered up, the it’ll be the second scene with another two more files turn, and so on and so on. 

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.

Another question: 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. 

As soon as you answer and the last things are taken care of, I will leave my laptop and the 4 iMac at the office where I work rendering away.  😱

EDIT: Oh another thing, Once the “Car Modeling scenes is all done, I will delete it from Google Drive and get the next scenes uploaded. 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?
