Decision aids / not certifications
Make the assumptions visible.
Small tools for the next production conversation. Inputs stay in this page; nothing is uploaded or saved between visits.
Which method should you test first?
A deliberately simple triage—not a budget estimate or equipment recommendation.
How the triage works
Late changes favor a separable composite. Otherwise, translation prompts a tracked-3D comparison. Limited movement with important reflections prompts a display test. Remaining cases begin with a plate/composite comparison. Hybrid shots are possible; this cannot assess safety, capacity, image quality, or cost.
Frame-time budget
Compare a measured frame time with the time available at your chosen cadence.
Formula and limits
Available milliseconds = 1000 ÷ frames per second. Remaining time = available − measured. Defaults are illustrative, not stage measurements. CPU and GPU work can overlap: do not sum unrelated timings and call it an observed frame time. This tool does not measure tracking delay, display processing, sync, or encode time.
Stage discussion checklist
Mark topics your team has reviewed. These checks are not a rigging, electrical, safety, or production approval. Qualified leads still own their checks.
