Floating point precision and errors in 3D production

The challenge with precision limits in production is tightly connected to the context of the assets, camera and procedural requirements the render scene needs to support.
For example a far away camera chasing a plane may not reveal issues that the same scene may show with a far away camera’s closeup of a displaced water drop on the plane’s windshield.
This is a rough example, but it helps putting things in perspective.

Always best testing for specific patterns or targets within a given setup.
