Animation Frame Size Question

[roberte]

I am working on an animation of a book I have written, with turning pages, using maya 6.1.

I have discovered that the per frame render time for 640x480, production quality is about 1 minute per frame. For 1024 X 768 approx. 3 minutes. This creates a huge time frame for the size animation I plan.

Can frame size be increased after the maya rendering without losing quality so I can render at the 640x480 image size?

No. Subjectively it might look OK, but objectively you'll always lose image quality by scaling up the frame.
