To 4k, or not to 4k. That is the question.

  • I need to have a 4k 3d video version, as 1080p just isn't enough for me. 4k is the gold standard. 103
  • I am happy with a 1080p 3d version of the video and VR options. 4k is overkill and unnecessary. 78

With the introduction of our own 3d videos on each release, I was wondering if 4k 3d videos are worth our time or not. The 1080p 3d versions is definitely here to stay, as it's nice to have a preview besides a static picture that's also a great way to show off our work without needing to put a VR headset on. SO here's a poll for you all to show your opinion. I'll take a look after a day or two and make a decision then. To be clear, I am not talking about VR versions. 4k of VR will never go away. I am talking about 3d, non VR versions only.

4K all the way for me. 1080p just doesn't look as good even on a 1440p monitor.

I would like to see at least one of your works in 4k to see the difference. Also how would switching to 4k affect the rate at which you release the animations?

I'm not gonna vote since i don't have a monitor that would allow me to tell the difference anyhow. But it certainly doesn't seem like it'd be worth the render time. Maybe tet out a 3k with a lower bitrate to see how much it cuts the render time?

I'm primarily using the VR headset so its not worth it personally. However if it doesn't add to your workload and you provide a separate link for VR as 4K files are WAY bigger to store. its really your preference.
