What exactly does “real-time” mean in the context of production rendering?
The speed in which the artist is able to create, explore and render final footage changes the common production challenge of time vs. quality. Frames that normally take 20 to 40 minutes each to render can be rendered in seconds at comparable quality in MachStudio Pro. We feel that the final quality can actually be even better since the artist has more time to explore and refine their work, freeing the artist to be an artist and not be burdened with as many technical requirements. This also allows the producer to rationalize striving for higher quality marks because of the lower cost and less time needed to achieve them.
