jonofj Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 [ATTACH=CONFIG]41948[/ATTACH] Hi all I was wondering since this is my first Test Render with 3ds max and vray1.5. why it is taking so long to render.... I left it to render overnight and when i came to check in the morning its still rendering , but estimated time is 10 hours???.....but it took 15 hours already...and still has not completed. is it my RAM? or is it my vray settings? any help welcome ...as i'm thinking its no hope for me if I try and use 3dsmax and vray for work purposes and have to wait 2 days for 1 render. my system details are: Dell Intel Xeon E5430 @ 2.66GHZ 4 Gig Ram Nividia Quadro Fx1700 Windows XP SP3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 most likely your renderings settings.... an exterior scene that size should be a quickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonofj Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 hi Brian, do you think you could give me a suitable VRAY render setting for this? thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Smith Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 well i see you are using the vray physical camera which you shouldn't unless you're comfortable with nearly all vray features and you have a decent background in photography. that's just asking for trouble. i also see that your Max depth is 1, which is a really bad thing and could be reason enough for extremely long renders. i dont' know why you would have touched that setting (System rollout) as most veterans don't even play with it. i suggest returning everything to their default values and then looking at some of the free resources we have at CGschool (http://www.thecgschool.com/). There are free webinars that discuss some configurations you can try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luthias42 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 try setting your Dynamic memory Limit to the amount of ram in your Comp. its in the settings tab under V-Ray::system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickdt Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Memory is definitely not the issue. Memory is only used during prepass. Come render time it's all about raw processing power. I agree with Brian, it's probably your materials and/or your VRay render settings. There's no way that your scene should be taking 25+ hours to render at 800x600.

BrianKitts Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 do you think you could give me a suitable VRAY render setting for this? I start all jobs with...... adaptive DMC 1/4 thresh .01 irradiance on low 30/20 LC @ 400 w/ .05 samples. This is my quick test render settings for most scenes then I start increasing values based on the specific needs of the scene. Every scene's different so there is no single answer to your question.

Crazy Homeless Guy Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I would start by logging in to Chaos Groups website and downloading the latest version of 1.5, which is a upgrade included with your purchase of 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Doerksen Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 is it legit software? if not, thats your problem... thats a common issue with the pirated stuff, i believe if u can your default geometry type to dynamic from auto it helps. but its still bad i hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
