Quote - thanks for the reply, but i think you missed the point of my thread, i've never rendered with ds before for anything, so i really would like to know what settings to use, ie shadows on, good quality render but not excessive in time, the render set up is completely alien to me.

Since your question regarding rendering was of a general nature, I gave you some advice in a general nature.  Settings really depend on the scene you are trying to render.  Shaders also play a large part in the "quality" of the render.

I alway use the highest quality render setting, but like I said, avoid lights set that slow things such as the Ubersoft lights (unless you really need them) as they slow render times to a crawl.  Animation is always a trade-off between quality vs render time.

You also asked about whether to render out .png or an .avi - I also answered that as well.

What point did I miss?
