Advice on rendering a default animation
Hi there I’m trying to render out an emitter. It is called fast squares party, and is in 09_03 bundle.
Using the Apple Animation Codec seems to be the sharpest (all others look awfully blurred) but the particles actual animation seems to render in fluctuating bursts, like the cpu was struggling while rendering, and its created an effect where instead of evenly instantiating particles, it is emitting them almost like a sine wave fashion, with peaks and troughs of efficiency.
Whats the best way to get a high quality render out of PI if the CPU appears to be choking whilst outputting a movie clip?
I see apps called PIllusionRender, and PIllusionBatch in my PI application folder, do I need to use these?
Thanks

It’s creating new particles the whole time, but sometimes they’re being created behind other particles, while sometimes they’re being created “on top”.
Open the emitter properties dialog for the stage emitter. Then check the “keep particles in order” option — that will fix it for you in this case.
