Very poor rendering quality

Hi,
I’m testing d5 for an animation to do. I’ve done a simple camera travelling, passing an opening door. As you can see in the attached image, the render is very poor with artifact and reformed reflection. It’s juste unusable as it is.


Is there some render quality setting I’ve missed somewhere? There are not even a motion blur option!?

what was the output quality?

resolution and frame?

This was a simple test in 720p… same result in exporting as an avi, mp4, sequence or single frame… quality as “precise”

what i see sometimes as an request from the crew is to render it in higher qualty.
like 2k, to see if it is still there.

Maybe that is something you can try before the crew reacts

Ok, so i do the test…
4k render of an animated single frame…
The artifact and aliasing are less notable but still here.
Here’s a crop of the full frame.

I did some more test…
When rendering in still image, the quality is perfect.
When rendering in animation mode… poor quality for the beauty and reflection pass… the over pass seems good except the AO pass that is really grainy but not aliased.
why the still image mode and the animation mode don’t have the same render quality???

I try to conform camera resolution and output one… samething

Hello @vincent.berger
Have you tried turning off the D5 SR feature in the Widget?

Hi there, you might want to try @NgTrung 's suggestion regarding turning off the D5 SR Image Rendering Beta since this speeds up the rendering time at the cost of sacrificing a little bit of detail. You may want to check out YouTube channels or guides for more video rendering tips and guides.

Let us know if any of these works, thank you~

Hi…
I already do the search and the D5 SR was disable from start… the render difference between still and anim render is huge… I have already find similar topic in this forum without solution… so…

Here is the similar topic unresolved:
https://forum.d5render.com/t/horrible-quality-of-animation-sequence/34221

And a white render to show more précisely the problem… no d5 SR, no effect, 2k resolution in png

Hi, sorry for this and the delayed updates regarding this matter. I have already forwarded this issue since this is similar to the topic you have linked and we have already recorded it as a known issue. Rest assured, I will be updating you regarding this matter. Thank you for being so understanding.

Hi @clovisbolasco14,
what I (and every one else) would like to know is if you have already some solution or fixe that have to be pushed in a futur release or even an idea of the solution or if it’s juste a “known issue” without solution for now?

Hi, sorry for not being able to clarify my statements earlier. Yes, it is a known issue, and we are working on it. As for the temporary solution:

  • Please try turning off “Super Resolution” before rendering the video. it will take more time to render, but the final result will be a little clearer than before with the feature turned on.

  • Rendering in 4k with higher FPS.

Again, I apologize for this, and we are currently working on it. hopefully, it will be fixed in the subsequent releases. Thank you~ :bowing_man:

Thanks for your reply… hope for a fixe real soon.

Do you think 2.9 will bring solution for this particular problem? This is really THE showstopper for me as it affect quality more than fonctionality.
I hope some news. Thanks

Honestly it just seems you still have some sort of super resolution turned on. I dont have this problem at all.

Did you turn off Super resolution and frame generation here?

Also try changing the materials in general, like the glass.
image

Honestly… I already done that… no super resolution… no frame generation… may be it dont turn off in the background but for what I see, it’s off. Driver problem or thing like that? I really don’t know.
Same for the material… I use the simplest white plastic for the whole model… with no glass at all… It’s exactly the same result.
The real concerne is that anim render and still image render are largely different.

Hello, we cannot give you a definitive time for the fix, but rest assured, the whole team is aware of this issue. This is somewhat similar to the case that was reported, wherein the first few frames of the video are of poor quality compared to the image and the latter frames.

  • You have also mentioned driver problems. Generally, we suggest updating your graphic card driver to the latest version since this also contributes to display performance (similar to video games) and prevents other issues. You may want to try to update it through the designated application of your graphics card or its website.

  • If you have an NVIDIA Graphics Card you may want to check its control panel and see if it’s running on high-performance mode

Any of this could and could not be a work around for this issue but hopefully this will somehow alleviate what you experienced, thank you so much for your understanding~

Hi @clovisbolasco14
So, from what I understand, you don’t have a solution in sight. You know, but there’s nothing you can do right now. Problem on a third party technology I imagine. Nvidia?

By the way, the problem does not only affect the start of the animation but the entire rendering. The artifact is also similar to what we perceive in the real-time interface of D5, when we scroll through the animation.
A real optional frame-by-frame rendering system would do the trick. By frame, I mean still image in batch… in old school mode :wink: Obviously slower, but ultimate quality.
Please keep us informed on the subject.

If I insist, it’s because I really want to work on your software, which I really like. So keep it up.
THANKS.
