When you do a final image sequence render, does it matter what the real time setting is set to? I’m assuming that the high, medium, quick, etc. settings only effect what you see when you’re working.

To me, always the "Final Render" was using the "real-time rendering" current settings.
Me too I was was confused at the beginning about this, but then I figured out somehow it makes sense.

You will notice a difference if you render when using Quick Mode. You should use the HIGH graphic setting for best results in your final render.

Yes, quick mode is done for animate large scene or many avatars with fluidity. When rendering, you have to turn to high for best results


     

Great. That’s what I’ve been doing, but sometimes with a complex scene I’m using quick mode and was wondering if I should continue to switch to high mode before final render. I guess I’ve been doing it correctly;)

Do not be confused. It positively makes no difference, but only if you set Render Quality to Final Render at Render tab.
You may then have the viewport set to Medium, Quick or Minimal. The moment you hit Export, the scene viewport is automatically switched to High, scene rendered and then vewport is switched back to the initial mode.

If you however leave export settings at Preview mode within Render tab, the images would be rendered with the current quality for the viewport (High, Medium, Quick, Minimal, or Custom).

In Quick mode you need high graphics.
