Archi Interior (vol 4) Render time

[drewster]

well if you work in a company you must have access to several machines on the network? Install Vray onto them and enable Distributed Rendering in the Vray System panel, by adding 1 more cpu you will reduce render time by 50% alone! If you have access to more than two PC's your laughing...I don't know of any otherway of reducing the render time but keeping the same quality except by maybe deleting some of the objects that yo can't see in the view you are rendering?

Hi,

WE have one more machine, but that is exclusively for CAD so no hope there.......any more suggestions?????

Drewster thanx for replying.....

Your question is way to vague. Post the settings for IR/LC and image sampling. There are
usually lots of ways to tweek a scene for speed.

Archinteriors (i think all) use these settings or similar, but these are taken from ArchInt4 scene 10.
Not sure what happened to the QMC Sampler noise threshold setting - whether this is how its meant to be or whether it has changed since i am opening a vray 1.4 scene in 1.5 and this setting seems to get lost.

Am really curious aswell for some settings for doing quick scene development renders, aswell as settings for doing an animation within one of these interiors. I guess for animations we would need to use a IR/QMC combo???

Thanks

Turn of DOF. That should help.

Ok first off your using brute force GI for the primary bounce that will take awhile! Switch it from Quasi-Monte Carlo to Irradiance cache. Then under those settings Change the preset to low to start with and lower your HSph subdivs from 50 to 30. Also turn on show calc phase. Your next slow down is under rQMC Sampler those are very intense settings! Change the adaptive amount to .5 and change the noise threshold to something like .01. Now hit render you should have a major speed boost! If the quality isnt up to par go back up to your irradiance settings and change the HSph subdivs to a higher number. and/or change the preset from low to medium or even higher depends on how the image turns out.

Hope this helps!http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/icons/icon6.gif
