What Settings Are Best For Rendering

[kittenev]

Hi, I'm new to the whole rendering side of Maya. I'm trying to make a short, and I've done the modeling, animation, lighting, etc for it already. I'm using Maya 2018 and the Arnold Render.

The problem comes with rendering it out. There are so many options and settings! I don't know which to pick.

I've been told that I should do the preset HD 1080 but what about the resolution? Isn't 72 low? I'm not really sure. 

Also, for the Arnold Render, there is an option called Camera (AA) and I've been told to set it to like 5. Is that correct? What does that do?

My goal is to take the raw render and put it into premiere pro which has an audio track that I've already edited. Can anyone please help?

Hi!

Sorry, there is no answer to this.

You could also ask what's the best color for painting or what are the best numbers to click on my phone when i want to make a call?

The settings you need are highly dependent on your scene and your requirements for the project,

without any further details no recommendation can be given.

To choose the right settings for a project you need experience.

Just start with the default settings and if you discover some problems then try to adjust your settings to fix this.

I also recommend to read the "Arnold for Maya User Guide", it's all very well documented.
