Too less remaining resolution

Post by chq »

Hi,

i'm planning a projection for Halloween in which individual horizontal bars under a carport are to be shown with small animations (approx. 10 identical ones next to each other per bar). There are several bars of the same size arranged one behind the other.

As the whole thing is to be implemented with a single, very wide-angle projector, there will be very little resolution left per animation for the bars further away.

So far I thought that I would solve the whole thing using a very wide composition in which I would arrange the Linear Cloner Basic animations next to each other. I would then map these to the bars using slices.

If I do it as described above, the small animations are already reduced in their resolution when they are inserted into the composition, and then reduced again when they are mapped using the slices.

Now to my question:

So how could I avoid this resolution-reducing intermediate step without losing flexibility in terms of slicing functionality?

That slice 2 looks like not much more than 100 pixels, right?

If you mean the height - yes, that could be the case; maybe less. I have now increased the width of the composition to the maximum possible, so that it looks reasonably good in the end, but in such cases a "render in composition override" option could be useful, so that it only has to be rendered once and the compisition size could be small. This would save computing time and the result would look better.

If you want to play the same content on all segments, you can make a composition with the size of one segment.
Then use the advanced output to duplicate the content with multiple slices.
