Vray speed up render process
-
Hi all,
So, as surely all of you out there, I'd love to accelerate my render process - especially when trialling things out in my model.
Does anyone have any advice on how to speed things up - especially the "processing scene" part?
To give you an idea, it takes about 5:30 minutes for a 600x450 render, most of which (3:20) is consumed in the "Processing scene - components definitions".
This may not seem like a long time, but it takes it's toll when just trying out different designs, lights etc..
Basing this on my current file with following statistics (including nested components):
163MB skp file
1.5 million edges
840k faces
250 components
2200 component instances
1700 groups
185 materials
"default vray" interior low quality settings
Dynamic Memory limit at 5000I
- am generally a careful modeller
- try to import reasonably sized components & textures
- use vray proxy when using multiple complex components
- purge components, materials etc frequently
- use test quality settings when trialling
- have tried switching off layers of items not visible in the current scene (and have found this doesn't help)
Many thanks!!

Hi rv1974,
Thanks for your reply.
I will google and look further into this, but any overall (simplified) tips from you?
Also, what would you advise to improve my "weak" PC?
Many thanks

Tweak noise threshold (.03-.1 for tests, .005-.01 for finals) and Max subdivs. Switch to v3.6+! Disable 'Retrace' while testing.
Hardware minimum: Latest I7 32gb ram, healthy SSD, gtx1080ti or better.
