Is Cycles ready for production?<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container"><br>Hi Eibriel,<br><br>Cycles is more than ready, but it has its strengths and weakness still. You can find this out yourself easily, or ask the artists who'll do the movie. It's all about the people first. If the lighting/design team can work with it, go for it.<br><br>Further - the use of Free Software shouldn't mean you don't spend money on it. Get scripters and developers on board to help the team, and reserve a budget for a couple of months (or more) for (Cycles) development of features you need.<br><br>For sure the target of Cycles is to be a production render system. In that sense you have the full power of the blender developer community behind you :)<br><br>In my experience, the main bottleneck for Cycles is still speed. You better secure a good render farm, and ask artists if the style and content for the movie allows optimizing well.<br><br>Lastly: get one of the
people who did an Open Movie here as a pipeline consultant? Check www.blendernetwork.org.<br><br>Looking forward to more news!<br><br>-Ton-<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------<br>Ton Roosendaal - <a ymailto="mailto:ton@blender.org" href="mailto:ton@blender.org">ton@blender.org</a> - www.blender.org<br>Chairman Blender Foundation - Producer Blender Institute<br>Entrepotdok 57A - 1018AD Amsterdam - The Netherlands<br><br><br><br>On 16 May, 2013, at 23:28, eibriel inv wrote:<br><br>> Hi!<br>> I'm working on a CG full length movie (you will see news about it soon :) ) and my job is to choose the render engine (between Blender Internal and Cycles).<br>> We are testing Cycles, and work amazingly, but we have some performance issues, with interior and nocturnal scenes.<br>> <br>> My questions are:<br>> - Is there any development target focused on
