Suggestions on render time

[samp1]

Am producing a walkthrough animation with 3dsmax and vray. I have attached a frame - it takes 30 mins to render this frame in a i7 4core 16gb ram system. Is this normal? Also what is the time you take to visualize a scene like this?

Thanks in advance

Hi !

 

You don't mention the output resolution, render settings nor the renderer (vRay, Mental Ray, Corona, etc).

 

 

In any case, the image has a lot of objects with reflections/refractions, so i think that 30 mins it's not too long...

30 minutes isn't bad.

 

Reducing render times is generally about deciding what you can do without... High quality GI, lots of shading subdivs, high anti aliasing quality, etc.

20-30 mins at 1920x1080 would be reasonable for a scene like that on your hardware i think

what version of vray are you using and what are your settings?

Thanks for the reply. I use 3ds max 2014 with vray 3.0. Am rendering in 1280x720. I have attached my render settings. It takes me 30 min per frame now. Also how long do you guys take to visualize a scene like this?

 

 

Thanks in advance

What would be the time if you switch off AO and displacement. Also try simple settings
