ecastillor Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 My interiors in vray tend to be on the slow side.... Especially if i have the knick knacks like Blury refs, displacement, refractions, fresnel refs,vray lights,area shadows,hdri, etc... In exteriors, vray cuts trhough renders like butter, but the interiors take about 4, 5, 6 hours or more to get a decent resolution. Is this normal? How can i seepd up interiors? lightscape used to take no more than one hour for the same kind of images, but is way too obsolete now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrius Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 If I can bring it down to 1 hour per frame, I'm happy. There are things you can do to speed it up without killing the quality. Though I have a small render farm, without that I would be toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I am working on one image and its 4 hours. I have a lot of stainless and I have glossy reflections on them. What I have works but I may try to work backwards to lower the settings till they look bad. I never know if the settings I have are too high and could be optimized.

John Dollus Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Well, if you run a low resolution prepass, save out the IR map and then run a full pass along with a seperate pass with no GI - only complete specularity for a reflection pass, you can keep frame times down.

andrius Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 well, I guess the question that really needs asking is: "is this an animation or still???" For a high rez still 4,5 or 6 hours isn't too bad. I've had some stills render for 40 hours, of course they are like 10,000 pixels wide and such... For an animation I always render out the irradiance map first. Saves a TON of time.

Sawyer Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 John, Can you give a more in depth example of doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the other hand with Exteriors you spend many hours doing the environment, so there you have the compensation with Interiors!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
