I wonder ... Movies like Toy Story. At what resolution were those early CGI movies rendered?
I guess they could easily just re-render them at 1920x1080 in a few days now. That would probably be more cost effective, fast, and easier than going and finding the original rendering and converting it...
i'm not sure you know about the rendering process of 3D animation, it is more than just pressing a button and waiting for the computer to finish. Although rendering each frame may be faster because of faster computers, this would take a long time, there are often post effects process after rendering or multiple render layers that need to be re-configured. Rerendering the movie and matching the sounds and all the effects and cuts and everything would certainly take more than a few days.
I doubt they would need to re-render anything anyway. they rendered out to film (remember it was in a movie theater). Rendering to film is like 2k or 4k resolution which is higher than "HD".
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
