As a digital animator, I'm still just getting into rendering in HD, which takes up so much more time. Now 3D is getting popular, which means rendering double frames(one for each eye) -- and they eventually want to spring this UltraHD shit, which will be crazy to render and display during After Effects processing.
We're just moving way too fast.

3-D is a fad and will be done in 5 years. Sales of 3-D TVs are a joke. What all these posters saying it's inevitable don't get is there is only so much bandwidth. Boprcaster use 6 MHZ wide channels and have amax bitrate of 19 MBps. Which is barely suitable for 1080i. Espeically since broadcasters still use mpeg2 compression. Now if they switch to mpeg4( which no broadcasters I know have any desire to do ) you can do 1080p. But that's it. No way you could do 2k let alone 4k. DirecTv uses Mpeg4 they barely have enough bandwidth for what they currently have. Now way you're getting 4k TVs. In 2025 TVs will still be 1080p.
