This is amazing, you just opened my eyes to a whole new world, without depending so much on render farms and cut render times! thank you!

Didn't know Topaz could be so useful in animations. Thank you. ❤

No problem 👍

I recently showed a similar test upscaling really low res image sequences into topaz with pretty good results. However, I didn't know this trick of rendering every other frame! That's even better! I'm trying it out now as I write. I went for 4 steps, instead of two. If it works, it would cut my rendering time down to 30 mins up from two hours. Thanks for the tips!

Smart approach. Thanks for sharing

Glad it was helpful!

For frame interpolation, use optical flow in Davinci Resolve.

Really interesting approach to animation renderings. I use to work with multilayer EXRs and I do all the compositing in After Effects, I guess the "patch" rendering would be a little bit difficult with my kind of workflow but I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing 💪

Hey. Aga. You are GOD of the animation workwlow

Yeah~ I did it 7 years ago, I thought no one knew this technique🤭

please continue with such tips. thanks

Hi hi, Question: If you process passes the same way, do they match up with the render?

Great video! Hey which software do you use to compose sequences?

Did you try Animarender ?😊

Hi, Did your exported EXR files become 16bit? Because when I export the files to EXR they are not 32 bit anymore. That is a big problem for editing and I cant remember this have been mentioned in the video that exported EXR are not 32 bit anymore.

WHATT? Topaz can now upscale EXR Sequences...that means if they multilayered that should be fine too?

Chainner with custom upscale/denoiser/enhance models is a free AI alternative to topaz

Why do you save images in .exr file?. Thank you for the answer.

For example, they have more dynamic range, so we can adjust shadows and highlights in postproduction.

There are a lot of situation where Topaz sucks. It's good for very common situations (nice youtube tutorial e.g.) but in real life it produces a lot of artefacts. Or it can be good decision for draft animation - in this case it's really good way.

I used it for every shot except for the car shot which I mentioned, I mentioned artifacts as well, mostly I used 2/4 times interpolation ;)

Know topaz many years, it's not so straight forward process! Time consuming and buying new software too, it required latest video card or your preceding Time is 4h for 4min of video or more! But if you have the latest rtx it's possible to convert to vray and render on gpu in Vantage. And why 4k ? 1080 still the standard or you can just export I davinci or pp with the right settings in 4k that's all . I don't think we should orientated on 4k it's this only for watching on the super biggest screen but in that case such client can afford 5k to pay! Even movies now 2k produce in Hollywood still, so no reason, too much additional efforts for what they pay for, if they pay they get 4k for 5k ;))))))))

You can apply exactly same logic to upscale to 1080p and render even smaller images, it’s up to you… you don’t have to do it like I do ;)

If I use this method, I can charge a client e.g 5x less for a 4K animation and be more competetive or have a better margins... Even if you charge them full price, it's better to use this method and earn $4K more.

so an average render farm 4K still rendering would cost me approx. $3.5?

We have been using this for years! But it was a "company secret" I guess is time for all the world to know. Upscaling and interpolating is a huge advantage on rendering times.
